2. East Arnhem from the air
The only way to truly experience the diversity of the East Arnhem landscape is from the air. From the turquoise-blue oceans meeting the bauxite-red land, estuaries snaking their way towards the sea and flood plains teeming with wildlife, East Arnhem from the air is a photographer's dream. A range of charter companies can customise scenic tours to your interests, and have you walking away with photos so great, you won't be able to choose which one to post!
