Our photography tour of Kakadu and Arnhem Land was the highlight of our Australian vacation - Peter Austin (USA)

Tours are designed to travel at a relaxed pace with plenty of time to get that perfect shot. Venture North caters to all abilities from the novice to the experienced with the option of having a professional photographer hosting the tour if requested.

The Top End of the Northern Territory is renowned for producing amazing colours at sunset and sunrise. Venture North's private camp on the Cobourg Peninsula overlooks the Arafura Sea and provides the perfect location to photograph these stunning occasions.

While on tour Venture North takes care of everything, from expert guides to accommodation, permits and meals, therefore leaving maximum time for you to focus on your craft.
