If you thrive on experiencing different cultures, then immersing yourself in the oldest living culture in the world, is a must. An opportunity to strengthen your connection to the Traditional Owners of Australia who have resided on the land for over 65,000 years, we invite you to dive into the important history of the First Nations people through our diverse experiences.
For an enlightening connection with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, here are some of the top must-do Welcome to Country experiences.
A full-day cultural exploration, the Aboriginal Cultural Tour Stand Up Paddle and Walk is an immersive journey that will give you a new insight into the Gumbaynggirr people and their relationship with the environment. Led by the Gumbaynggirr people’s descendants who are the heirs to the world’s first stand-up paddlers, they’ll take you to explore their ancestral lands from both water and land with a combination of paddle boarding and walking. After hearing the Dreamtime stories and working up an appetite, you’ll enjoy a delicious morning or afternoon tea featuring fresh indigenous ingredients. Super unique and great for those who love combining culture with adventure.
