ROM THE 16TH century, Makassan trepangers began venturing from their homeland in South Sulawesi in Indonesia. Travelling through the Flores and Savu seas, they arrived on the shores of Arnhem Land and the Kimberley. Explore lesser-visited islands that are home to seafaring traditions and rich cultural practices. At Tana Beru, witness 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 ofTaka Bonerate Marine Park, these voyages are a feast for the senses.
