ROM THE 16TH CENTURY, Makassan trepangers began venturing from their homeland in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Travelling through the Flores and Savu seas, they arrived on the shores of the Kimberley and Arnhem Land.. Explore lesser-visited islands, home to seafaring traditions and rich cultural practices. At Tana Beru, witness ancient traditional Phinisi boatbuilding, and visit one of the last traditional subsistence-whaling villages at Lamalera. From encountering komodo dragons on a walking tour to exploring the colourful underwater realm of Takabonerate Marine Park, these voyages are a feast for the senses.
