Top 10 Things to do in East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory

“GULULU” - WELCOME TO OUR COUNTRY - Welcome to Yolŋu Country. Lirrwi Tourism operates day tours, and multi-day tours, spending time with the Yolŋu people of East Arnhem Land, living and working on their traditional homelands. We specialise in bringing people together to share Yolŋu culture, connecting Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people and building understanding between the two cultures. The one-day tours are the perfect cultural introduction to Yolngu country, whilst small-group multi-day tours provide participants with the opportunity to stay on a Yolŋu Homeland and take part in daily activities. In the Yolngu culture, it’s traditional for men and women to undertake activities separately, and a female specific Woman’s Tour is available for ladies. Tours are suitable for all ages and we welcome families with children to share in an “Adventure in Culture”. We offer itineraries for corporate team building, Indigenous education, as well as for sporting and community groups.

We own an 11 metre boat that has seating for 20 passengers. We offer harbour cruises on Gove Harbour and day trips to Banubanu Beach retreat on Bremer Island.

Groote Eylandt, in the Gulf of Carpentaria, features some of the most exciting fishing grounds in the world. Our core fishing offering at Groote Eylandt is suitable for everybody—from novices and young people to experienced anglers. The island, home to the Anindilyakwa People, also features some of the most well preserved and vivid rock art in the world. We will show you ancient art unlike any other in Australia.

Immerse yourself in the world's oldest surviving culture on this journey through the heart of Arnhem Land. Explore stunning floodplains and pristine billabongs. Enjoy authentic cultural activities. View ancient rock art, cruise incredible wetlands and journey back to 1838 on an historical tour of Victoria Settlement at Port Essington. Plus experience our unique network of wilderness lodges.

Capt Dan and the Iron Lady are the ultimate definitions of having a boat will travel. From the Roper River to the South and Elcho Island off Arnhem Land they go hunting for fish. After 25 years of continuous operation, Capt Dan and the crew know the area pretty well. To be able to get over a thousand Barramundi in June over six days fishing with six anglers on board is truly amazing fishing. If Barramundi fishing is not what you are after on your fishing holiday then join the team of "Australian Sportfishing Charters" onboard their other sportfishing vessel "Wild Turkey" and put yourself to the test. Fishing for the giant Black Marlin that visit the Great Barrier Reef from September to December, between Cairns and Lizard Island each year. Still looking for something else to catch then come and fish for the hard fighting sportfish, Giant Trevally (GT's) or the vast variety of gamefish that swim in the cobalt currents of the Coral Sea.
