​Arnhem Land Tag-A-Long Tours

We often get asked if we do tag-a-long tours* into Arnhem Land and the simple answer is no, we don’t. On all our tours into Arnhem Land (and the Top End for that matter) our guests travel in one of our luxury tour vehicles with one of our expert guide/drivers. This ensures everyone stays safe and nothing is left to chance in this remote part of the Northern Territory.

*a tag-a-long tour is where the guide/group leader travels in their vehicle while the participants travel and drive their own vehicles in convoy.

In the past we have worked with tag-a-long groups who have finished their tag-a-long tour in Kakadu and then securely parked their vehicle and joined our 4 Day Arnhem Land and Cobourg Peninsula Tour from Jabiru (Kakadu). This option allows people to enjoy exploring Kakadu themselves and then putting their feet up and exploring Arnhem Land as a passenger with all the meals, permits and access issues taken care of.

For those on a tag-a-ling tour that finishes in Darwin we also offer a 5 day tour ex Darwin. This is our 5 Day Kakadu, Arnhem Land and Cobourg Peninsula Tour, this tour departs Darwin every Monday and Thursday from May to the end of October.

Private tailor-made tours of Arnhem Land and the Top End can also be arranged on request and can depart from Darwin, Jabiru or Katherine. For more information about our micro-group tours please contact Venture North Safaris on by email or call our office on 08 8927 5500.
