Isole remote ed esotiche, località storiche, grandi battute di pesca, esperienze d’impronta culturale e molto altro ancora.
La zona orientale di Arnhem Land è caratterizzata da coste frastagliate che racchiudono belle e lunghe spiagge di sabbia bianca; questa terra che misura quasi 100,000 chilometri quadrati è una delle ultime roccaforti della cultura tradizionale aborigena australiana.
Numerose le attività possibili in questa zona caratterizzata da una natura davvero intatta e selvaggia.
Bellissime le spiagge ove poter passeggiare in vista delle acque placide del Mare di Arafura. Interessanti i tour con guide aborigene Yolngu per saperne di più sulla loro cultura ancestrale. Splendidi i centri di artigianato aborigeno ed entusiasmanti le battute di pesca e le gite in barca. Il pesce appena pescato vi verrà servito a tavola, la sera.
