Walkabout Cultural Tours was established in 2003 by David Miller, a passionate advocate for Aboriginal culture and sustainable tourism. His vision was to create a tourism company that not only showcased the beauty and depth of Aboriginal culture but also directly benefited Aboriginal communities through employment and cultural preservation initiatives. From humble beginnings, offering a single walking tour around Darwin, Walkabout Tours has grown to encompass a diverse range of experiences across the Northern Territory.
Our core values are deeply embedded in respect, reciprocity, and responsibility. We believe in operating with the utmost respect for Aboriginal protocols and cultural sensitivities. We are committed to reciprocal relationships, ensuring that our tours are beneficial for both visitors and the communities we partner with. And we take our responsibility seriously – to educate our guests, to operate sustainably, and to contribute positively to the ongoing story of Aboriginal culture in Australia.
Over the years, we have been privileged to share the wonders of Aboriginal culture with thousands of visitors from around the globe. We have received numerous accolades and awards for our commitment to cultural tourism, but our greatest reward comes from the positive feedback and transformative experiences shared by our guests. We are proud to be more than just a tour company; we are a bridge connecting cultures, fostering understanding, and celebrating the enduring spirit of Aboriginal Australia.
Looking to the future, Walkabout Cultural Tours remains dedicated to innovation and growth, always with our core values at heart. We are continually developing new experiences, exploring new partnerships, and seeking new ways to share the richness of Aboriginal culture. We are committed to sustainability in all our operations, minimizing our environmental impact and maximizing our positive social and cultural contribution. Join us on this incredible journey and discover the heart of Aboriginal Australia with Walkabout Cultural Tours – where every tour is a step towards understanding and connection.
