When you think about taking a vacation in Australia, you may picture Sydney Harbour, the Great Barrier Reef, or Uluru. While these are all fantastic places to see, there is much more to Australia than just these well-known tourist attractions. One way to learn more about the history and culture of Australia is to book an Aboriginal tour. This article explores five reasons why you should add an Aboriginal tour to your itinerary on your next trip Down Under. 

1. You'll learn about a different side of Australian history

When most people think of Australian history, they picture British colonisation and the iconic Outback. However, there is much more to the country's history. An Aboriginal tour will allow you to learn about the country's rich Indigenous heritage and the vital role that Aboriginal people have played in shaping Australia. 

2. You'll get to experience traditional Aboriginal culture firsthand

Aboriginal tours offer visitors a unique opportunity to experience some traditional Indigenous culture firsthand. From learning about Dreamtime stories to participating in a didgeridoo performance, you'll walk away from your tour with a much better understanding of Aboriginal culture.

3. You'll have the chance to see some amazing places that are off the beaten path

When most people visit Australia, they stick to major cities like Sydney or Melbourne or well-known tourist destinations like the Gold Coast beaches. However, many hidden gems throughout the country are only accessible by booking an Aboriginal tour. By venturing off the beaten path, you'll see some of Australia's most beautiful and untouched landscapes while learning about their important cultural significance. 

4. You'll be supporting local Indigenous communities

When you book an Aboriginal tour, you're not just supporting local businesses—you're also supporting local Indigenous communities. Many Indigenous-owned tour companies use proceeds from tours to fund essential community initiatives like language revitalisation programs or youth education scholarships.

5. You'll have an experience that you'll never forget

Lastly, booking an Aboriginal tour is simply an amazing experience you won't find anywhere else in the world. There's nothing quite like learning about another culture and gaining a new perspective on the world today—and there's no better place to do it than Australia.
