Traditional Aboriginal Fishing (Cairns)

Travel with your Adventure North Australia Aboriginal guide to Cooya Beach (Kuyu Kuyu); the traditional hunting ground of the Kuku Yalanji. A member of the Kubirri Warra clan will introduce you to their traditional fishing and gathering techniques as you explore this coastal habitat. Learn traditional hunting and gathering skills that are still used today to search for bush tucker for their family.

Continuing on to Mossman Gorge at the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park, you are greeted with a traditional smoking ceremony conducted by Aboriginal people with specialised cultural knowledge to welcome people to their land.

A delicious lunch infused with local flavours is served in the Mossman Gorge Centre at the edge of the rainforest. You will also have time to explore the gallery and its artworks from prominent and emerging local artists.

Wander into the lush rainforest, the traditional home of the Kuku Yalanji people. Experience one of the world’s oldest and most beautiful rainforests with your guide.
