Top End Day Tours is the only day tour company in the Kakadu/Arnhem land region to employ local aboriginal guides.
A unique opportunity to venture into Arnhem Land (aboriginal lands), a vast wilderness home to the traditional owners. We have a special arrangement with local traditional owners whereby we have access to some special sacred sites.
Injalak Hill tours are guided by local indigenous guides who will show you around one of the best rock art sites in the world! When on tour with us we encourage open conversations with our guides, who are all experienced and welcoming.
This is a rock art and culture tour where we take our time to talk with our guides and take in the expansive scenery and rock art galleries, our Injalak Hill tour does not require you to be a fit athlete! However, as we are off the beaten track with no foot paths and/or handrails you do need to be agile. Walking over uneven surfaces, rocks/boulders requires agility.

Magical Experience

5.00A fantastic and well organised trip from start to finish. Tim was marvellous ( And according to Linda very sexy). While driving g out he set up the day in a professional manner providing information on how the day would work and assuring e eryone that their participation mattered. Also Shaun our guide ( who rescued Linda's backpack) enthralled everyone with his commentary on the ancient Aboriginal paintings which took a lot of effort to view but had this been threefold it would have been more than worth it. Probably the best trip we've ever been on. Many Many Thanks Ian & Linda
It was a great Trip and...

5.00It was a great Trip and Shawn, our Aboriginal Guide, told us a lot about the Rock Art and his Culture. We spent 3 - 4 h on the Rockside.
Awesome day in Arnhem Land

5.00This tour is an extremely insightful way to learn about Aboriginal culure and Arnhem Land. We had about an hour in the tour bus from Jabiru to Arnhem Land. During that portion of the ride, Tim did an incredible job of explaining how the day would work, who and what we would see, encouraging us to ask lots of questions and other logistics of the day. He even noted that an important member of the community had passed away recently and the funeral was the day before our tour. Which meant our tour mught be impacted (it was not). All very helpful. What he (intentionally) doesn't do is speak on behalf of the people who live in Arnhem Land. We had a local man join our tour when we arrived in Arnhem Land and he was our guide the rest of the day. He explained traditions and answered questions. He was very soft spoken, which added to the allure. He explained the rock art we saw at several stops along the way. He took us to a beautiful lookout where we had lunch. All in all, a truly wonderful day and tour.
Rock art up close and personal

5.00We had the privilege of doing the Arnhem Land Yingana Injalak full day tour. I say privilege because it truly was special and guided by a local wholives on these lands and his ancestors have lived here continuously for 10,000 years. It was very special, seeing the rock art up close and personal, and hearing the native stories and legends behind it. We also visited sacred burial grounds and could see how much the site means to our guide, Craig. The views from the top of Injalak hill were spectacular and we enjoyed a picnic lunch looking out over the whole landscape below. This tour requires sure footing and there is lots of scrambling over rocks. Our driver Tim was very friendly and brought us to the border store as the art center was closed on the day we went, which was a surprise to him. We were picked up at the Croc Hotel shortly before nine and back after four so it is a full day trip! I would highly recommend
MEMORABLE DAY TOUR VIEWING ANCIENT ROCK ART

5.00This tour offered exactly what I wanted: viewing ancient indigenous rock art and learning more about indigenous culture. It was brilliant. During the drive, Tim had time to share his extensive local knowledge of the area and advised of his working with indigenous guides to create an authentic experience. These guides live, love and know the land, the culture and the stories that have been orally passed down from generation to generation. Craig, our guide, opened his heart explaining his cultural history, the importance of "country" to "family" and replied to our many questions. Climbing the Hill, Craig stopped to interpret many of the paintings, linked to stories, which often led to events in his family's life. The extent and condition of the ancient rock art is exceptional. At the top of the Hill, we ate our picnic lunch while enjoying the spectacular view below. Thank you Tim and Craig for an unbelievable day. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

5.00We really enjoyed our day tour to Injalak hill and Arnhem Land with Tim and Sebastian (14/7/2025). This tour felt very authentic and we really liked that we had an Aboriginal guide from the local area. We loved hearing Seb’s stories and knowledge about the amazing rock art. This was truly a very special place and I’m so grateful we were able to experience it. There was a lot of climbing over rocks and through tight spaces which we loved, but if you are not very fit or mobile, this tour probably isn’t for you. Finally, we really enjoyed hearing how passionate Tim is about Aboriginal culture and bridging the gap between white Australians and Indigenous Australians. It’s such an important conversation to have! Thanks for a great day, Jess and Jarrod
Best rock art in the world

5.00Injalak Hill rock art is better than Ubirr or Nourlangie and there’s heaps more of it. It would be a crime to visit Kakadu and not do this tour. Our guide Sean was a local Indigenous man. Unlike the Kakadu sites there’s no fences and it’s allot more authentic. Also includes visit to art gallery where prices are better than at Jabiru. Lunch was really nice and you have it in an a cave art gallery where people have met for many thousands of years.
Excellent. Highly recommend.

5.00Excellent adventure! Highly recommend this experience. The aboriginal guide was truly amazing and shared personal stories. I felt so connected to Australia through him. The hiker is a bit technical and well worth it!

5.00This was an amazing tour into beautiful Arnhem Land! We feel really privileged to have had this incredible experience to witness and learn about Binninj culture from Sean on Country. He was really generous in welcoming us to Country and sharing so much about his culture with us. Tim was a really relaxed and knowledgeable tour operator who really made the tour so enjoyable. Gammak!!
