Venture North Australia recently won two major awards at the prestigious 2011 Northern Territory Tourism Brolga Awards. Owned by brothers Aaron and Hugh Gange the company took out the best Cultural and Heritage Tour for the second year in a row while head guide Hugh won Outstanding Interpretive Guide.
These leading cultural and ecotourism operators specialise in taking guests off the beaten track (in comfort) to places that aren’t part of the usual touring itinerary. Operating the remote Cobourg Coastal Camp, a safari-style camp in northern Arnhem Land, the boys love showing guests their unique part of the world.
“Guests often can’t believe it when they arrive up here in the National Park and don’t see another person for days” says Hugh Gange.
All Venture North tours are small group, with a maximum of 6 guests to one guide to keep it personal. Along the way Indigenous guides are employed to interpret sacred rock art sites in Arnhem Land, giving guests an insight into the world oldest living culture. After exploring Kakadu National Park tours culminate at Venture North’s camp where guests enjoy champagne on arrival and settle in for three nights.
The camp has most of your home comforts while still allowing you to feel close to nature, i.e. open-air monsoonal showers and the ‘loo with a view’.
On tour with Venture North each day holds something new; whether it’s beachcombing on deserted beaches, cruising the Marine Park by boat, croc spotting or simply relaxing in a hammock overlooking the ocean. Include some good food and good company and you are in for an unforgettable Top End experience!
