‘If you’re looking for that dream “bucket list” trip to a genuinely wild and fish-filled stretch of Top End water with all the hard stuff taken care of for you, I would unhesitatingly recommend Venture North’s Cobourg Peninsula operation as being second to none.’ – fishing identity – Steve Starling

Nestled amongst savannah bushland and overlooking the bay of Port Essington Venture North’s unique safari-style camp has most of the home comforts while still allowing guests to feel close to nature. A central open-plan dining area provides a relaxed place to enjoy meals, whilst quaint canvas safari-tents provide a comfortable nights’ accommodation.

Operating during the dry season (May through October) the camp caters for a maximum of 16 guests, although for the majority of the year just 6 guests will share the camp at any one time.

All facilities are shared. The camp also features an extensive library, telescope and a boat moored out the front of the camp for accessing the Marine Park.

Dinners of a high standard are prepared in the camp kitchen nightly and incorporate freshly caught seafood, fresh vegetables and a variety of local produce.

The Northern Territory is a unique destination and a world away from the European style cities of its southern counterparts. The NT offers a glimpse into an ancient Australia, a region of pristine national parks, abundant wildlife and a place where Indigenous culture is still strong.

Kakadu

Covering almost 20,000 square km of exceptional natural beauty and unique biodiversity, Kakadu is one of very few places World Heritage listed for both its cultural and its natural values. Venture North is one of only a select group of operators with access into both Moline Rockhole and the spectacular Koolpin Gorge.

Arnhem Land

Arnhem Land comprises of vast amounts of Aboriginal owned land (approximately 100,000 square km) where many local people still practice their traditional ways. The region is home to some of the most spectacular rock-art anywhere in the world. Access is strictly regulated through a permit system and Venture North is one of only a select group of operators permitted to access this region by 4wd.

The Cobourg Peninsula

Located on the most northern tip of the NT mainland the Cobourg Peninsula encompasses the Garig Gunak Barlu National Park as well as the NT’s largest Marine Park. In order to maintain the Parks pristine nature only 15 vehicles are allowed on the Peninsula at any one time. It is here overlooking the bay of Port Essington Venture North operates its Cobourg Coastal Camp.
