Indigenous Cultural Beach Walk and Talk Experience

The Kuku Yalanji people inhabit the region from Cooktown in the north to Chillagoe in the West and Port Douglas in the South.

As visitors arrive at Cooya Beach, a First Nations Custodian will extend a warm welcome to their traditional homeland where they continue to practice their cultural activities and maintain their cultural heritage.

Following this, the guides will explain the cultural importance of this land before introducing guests to the traditional fishing activity of spear throwing and handling, which is still practiced in the area to this day.

Next, guests will follow their First Nations guide along Cooya beach, spear in hand, while observing cultural medicine and food plants. The guides will then lead the group on a journey through the mangroves and onto the mudflats as they continue their daily spear fishing and gathering for their families.

After approximately 1.5 hours of engaging in cultural activities and coastal walking, guests will return with the guides to see Kuku Yalanji artefacts and share rare stories from their traditional lands. Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to observe daily cultural management and education activities, further immersing themselves in the rich and vibrant culture of the Kuku Yalanji people. This a fantastic insight into the oldest indigenous culture on the planet!

With two daily departures at 9:30 am and 1:30 pm from Cooya Beach, this tour commences at 1 Palm Court Cooya Beach.
