Discover Aboriginal Experiences, a collective of Aboriginal-guided tourism offerings, was formed to provide meaningful and sustainable ways to connect with the people and places they are visiting.
DISCOVER ABORIGINAL EXPERIENCES
Australia is home to some of the world’s oldest living cultures, with evidence showing settlements as far back as 65,000 years ago.
This diverse and extensive history draws in modern travellers who are increasingly looking for more meaningful and sustainable ways to connect with the people and places they are visiting.
Discover Aboriginal Experiences, a collective of quality, authentic Aboriginal-guided tourism offerings, was formed to answer this call.
Whether you prefer laid-back walking tours or exhilarating quad biking adventures, Discover Aboriginal Experiences is a leader in First Nations tourism. It proudly offers over 200 experiences from 48 businesses across the country, all led and operated by Aboriginal guides who provide guests with a means of connecting genuinely and respectfully with Australian places and culture.
From the red deserts of the outback to the colourful stretches of coral reefs and lush rainforests, Australia is made up of many First Nations peoples, each with their own culture, customs, languages, and laws. With no two Aboriginal experiences the same, you are guaranteed to experience something new and memorable with each tour that will serve to further connect you to the country and its people.
Nowhere else in the world can claim a cultural legacy like that of Australia’s, and with tourism proving to be such a powerful tool for driving positive change and sustainability, Discover Aboriginal Experiences is primed to showcase First Nations-led tourism and the unparalleled majesty of a continent rich in tradition.
Through the organisation’s partnerships with boutique Aboriginal tourism businesses, it plays a crucial role in creating meaningful employment opportunities for First Nations peoples, supporting the preservation and continuation of cultures on traditional lands.

For outdoor connoisseurs looking to experience all of Australia’s remarkable offerings, it can pose a challenge to construct an itinerary that cohesively navigates the country’s climatic conditions, travel distances, species behaviours, and number of tour operators to choose from. This is where Australian Wildlife Journeys comes in.
The collective organisation addresses these needs by grouping together like-minded wildlife tourism operators who are passionate about raising the profile of responsible nature encounters while providing world-class hospitality.
Crucial to these various tourism offerings is the assurance of high-quality guides who connect with visitors, encourage self-reflection, and are respectful of individual, local community values. Those involved are also united by their commitment to providing plentiful information about the wildlife classes and events across each distinctive season.
Additionally, to ensure even richer and more in-depth travel experiences, members of Australian Wildlife Journeys support local vendors and actively reinvest in local communities.
With tours including Aboriginal Culture and Wildlife: Darwin to Adelaide; Tasmania and Southwest Australia – Beaches, Wine, and Wildlife; Christmas Island Birdwatching; Great White Shark Cage Diving; Sunset Whale Watching, and ample more, the organisation and its members actively support and showcase the captivating effervescence the country has to offer.
