First Nations culture

We’ve always greatly respected the heritage and traditions of the First Australians.

Back in 1998 we were the first tour company to advise our travellers against climbing Uluru on account of its sacred significance to numerous First Nations cultures. The close working partnerships we’ve established with First Nations’ communities continue to inform our understanding of the land, as well as inspire in our travellers an appreciation for one of the world’s oldest living cultures. Below are some of the partners that we’re proud to work with.

Maruku Arts

Nearly 900 artists make up the collective arts hub Maruku, which is owned and operated by the Anangu people (who originate from the Western and Central deserts of Australia). Maruku’s purpose is to keep the Anangu culture alive through art and to make their culture accessible for those seeking an in-depth understanding. Today Maruku is one of the largest and most successful First Nations’-owned operations in Australia, with programs including tours, painting and carving workshops, traditional ceremonies and art exhibitions.

Butchella

Nestled along the pristine shores of K’gari, is a unique retreat managed by K’gari’s original custodians, the Butchella people. This initiative not only offers a serene escape but also actively supports local Butchella enterprises. By staying here on our tours, guests contribute to job creation and the development of culturally connected products like clap sticks, native art, and organic body washes. Moreover, funds help enhance the Scrub Hill cultural precinct and foster the growth of young Butchella individuals. Collaborative efforts with the Butchella also enrich visitor experiences, providing deep insights into their rich culture and history.
