Top End tours

Eco-friendly activity

Kakadu National Park, Peter Eve / Tourism NT

Because of the distances, logistics and permits required to obtain access to areas such as Arnhem Land, ecotravellers in the Northern Territory should consider some of the great organised tours on offer. Travelling with a small group will probably reduce your individual carbon footprint, and can take much of the stress out of a holiday. There are plenty of operators, but some are particularly recommended. Odyssey Tours and Safaris is eco-certified and runs a special seven-day Top End safari through Kakadu and Arnhem Land, staying in semi-permanent and permanent safari camps. Wilderness Adventures is also eco-certified and runs small, nature-based tours. Other companies that offer small, private tours with a focus on nature and Indigenous culture include Guided by Nature and Venture North.
