Rock art up close and personal - We had the privilege of doing the Arnhem Land Yingana Injalak full day tour. I say privilege because it truly was special and guided by a local wholives on these lands and his ancestors have lived here continuously for 10,000 years.
It was very special, seeing the rock art up close and personal, and hearing the native stories and legends behind it. We also visited sacred burial grounds and could see how much the site means to our guide, Craig. The views from the top of Injalak hill were spectacular and we enjoyed a picnic lunch looking out over the whole landscape below.
This tour requires sure footing and there is lots of scrambling over rocks. Our driver Tim was very friendly and brought us to the border store as the art center was closed on the day we went, which was a surprise to him. We were picked up at the Croc Hotel shortly before nine and back after four so it is a full day trip! I would highly recommend

MEMORABLE DAY TOUR VIEWING ANCIENT ROCK ART - This tour offered exactly what I wanted: viewing ancient indigenous rock art and learning more about indigenous culture. It was brilliant. During the drive, Tim had time to share his extensive local knowledge of the area and advised of his working with indigenous guides to create an authentic experience. These guides live, love and know the land, the culture and the stories that have been orally passed down from generation to generation. Craig, our guide, opened his heart explaining his cultural history, the importance of "country" to "family" and replied to our many questions. Climbing the Hill, Craig stopped to interpret many of the paintings, linked to stories, which often led to events in his family's life. The extent and condition of the ancient rock art is exceptional. At the top of the Hill, we ate our picnic lunch while enjoying the spectacular view below.
Thank you Tim and Craig for an unbelievable day. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

- We really enjoyed our day tour to Injalak hill and Arnhem Land with Tim and Sebastian (14/7/2025). This tour felt very authentic and we really liked that we had an Aboriginal guide from the local area. We loved hearing Seb’s stories and knowledge about the amazing rock art. This was truly a very special place and I’m so grateful we were able to experience it.
There was a lot of climbing over rocks and through tight spaces which we loved, but if you are not very fit or mobile, this tour probably isn’t for you.
Finally, we really enjoyed hearing how passionate Tim is about Aboriginal culture and bridging the gap between white Australians and Indigenous Australians. It’s such an important conversation to have!
Thanks for a great day,
Jess and Jarrod

Best rock art in the world - Injalak Hill rock art is better than Ubirr or Nourlangie and there’s heaps more of it.
It would be a crime to visit Kakadu and not do this tour. Our guide Sean was a local Indigenous man. Unlike the Kakadu sites there’s no fences and it’s allot more authentic. Also includes visit to art gallery where prices are better than at Jabiru.
Lunch was really nice and you have it in an a cave art gallery where people have met for many thousands of years.

Excellent. Highly recommend. - Excellent adventure! Highly recommend this experience. The aboriginal guide was truly amazing and shared personal stories. I felt so connected to Australia through him. The hiker is a bit technical and well worth it!

Incredible cultural tour into Arnhem Land! - This was an amazing tour into beautiful Arnhem Land! We feel really privileged to have had this incredible experience to witness and learn about Binninj culture from Sean on Country. He was really generous in welcoming us to Country and sharing so much about his culture with us. Tim was a really relaxed and knowledgeable tour operator who really made the tour so enjoyable. Gammak!!

A memorable experience - It was a memorable experience.
Friendly group and tour lead, beautiful landscape, access to special aboriginal sites and art.
Having an aboriginal person with the tour was great. He welcomed and answered our many questions.
The road is bumpy and corrugated (choose a seat in the front if you suffer back-pain or are prone to motion sickness).
It is hot also hot in NT (drink a loooot of water)
but it is all worth it.

A great experience. - My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. Seeing the Rock art, and hearing the stories behind the drawings was special, and educational. Tim and Sean were excellent. Getting to the drawings was harder than we anticipated, but as there was no rush, we completed the tour without incident. Highly recommended.

Authentic and beautiful - The landscape is beautiful and our time on Injalak hill with our Arnhem land guide Roland was really interesting and fun. So many rock art caves to explore. Then the view at the top!! I'm so glad I went on this tour and Tim our guide was friendly and informative. You need to be agile to do this tour and while most of it is in the shade there are short periods in the heat of the day when climbing the hill.
