Yawuru Cultural Tour with Crocodile Feeding
YOUR EXPERIENCE PROVIDER
Mabu Buru Tours
Experience a Yawuru Cultural Tour followed by a Crocodile Feeding Tour in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Mabu Buru Tours will take you on a very personal journey that explores Yawuru Culture through Country, nature, history, lore and traditional knowledge. You’ll discover secrets of nature hidden in plain sight throughout the landscape of Cable Beach to Roebuck Bay, taste seasonal fruits, encounter local wildlife and enjoy a private viewing of the feeding of the local resident crocodiles at the Crocodile Park.
Insights into your experience
Visit Minyirr Buru, a protected and sacred area for the Yawuru people, abundant in native flora and fauna whilst yarning with Johani about Yawuru culture, Country and history. Learn about Minyirr Buru’s native flora, taste bird flower nectar and listen to Yawuru Dreamtime stories. Make sure you look out for the ancient dinosaur tracks in the coastal areas of the park.
After exploring the surrounds of Broome on your cultural journey you will be treated to a very unique crocodile feeding experience at The Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park located just 15 minutes drive from the town. Witness Johani hand-feeding giant saltwater crocodiles that are over 5 meters long.
If you're brave enough, you can also hold a baby crocodile!
“Balancing Yawuru traditional knowledge with Western science gives me a unique perspective in my work as a qualified Indigenous Ranger. I encourage all people to experience our spiritual and physical connection to country and spread understanding of Aboriginal culture.” - Johani Mamid
