Insights into your experience

During our tours, Delta Kay will share significant places and you will hear local history and traditional stories. There are opportunities to learn Bundjalung language and about bush food, natural medicine, tools, weapons and artifacts.

Guests can expect to hear about Aboriginal existence before colonisation, including how Arakwal Bundjalung people cared for and preserved the land. Delta also explains the devastating impact of settlement and displacement on Aboriginal people. She teaches Bundjalung language and provides information about bush food, natural medicine, tools, weapons and artefacts.

During the tour guests often see an abundance of wildlife, such as dolphins, wallabies and fairy wrens to name a few. From coastal rainforest to crashing waves and rocky cliffs, the views on this tour are truly special.
