Aboriginal Culture Tour Kayaking Itinerary

Connect to Country: A Journey on the Pambula River

Our Aboriginal cultural tour on the Pambula River, comes from a special collaboration with Twofold Aboriginal Corporation. This immersive experience takes participants on a guided kayaking journey, complemented by the knowledge and stories of an Indigenous guide. As paddles gently ripple the waters of the Pambula River, guests will be enlightened about the river’s profound significance in Aboriginal culture, history, and lore.

The Aboriginal culture tour offers more than just scenic beauty; it’s a journey into the heart of the land’s Indigenous heritage. Participants will gain an understanding of local wildlife names, gather knowledge about traditional bush foods, and marvel at the pristine surroundings that have held meaning for generations. Our aim on the Aboriginal Cultural Tour is to bridge the connection between nature’s splendour and the rich tapestry of Aboriginal culture in our region. 

We will make our way to Severs Beach, a place deeply entwined with the Indigenous heritage of our region, resonating with thousands of years of history. As we pause to soak in the beauty of this magnificent spot, guests are treated to a delightful morning tea. Relish the local flavours of lemon myrtle slice, paired with freshly plunged coffee, aromatic tea, refreshing juice, and a selection of fresh fruit. 

For those who’ve previously embarked on a kayaking expedition with us, this Aboriginal Cultural Tour presents an opportunity to revisit the Pambula River and experience its majesty through a fresh, deeply rooted perspective. 

As part of our commitment to giving back and supporting the Indigenous community, a portion of the proceeds from each booking will directly benefit the Twofold Aboriginal Corporation.
