About this tour

The 90-minute circuit pairs landscape with cultural storytelling, finishing with native bush tucker and tea. You'll move at a steady pace across natural terrain, learning how the land sustained people for thousands of years before the town existed.

Highlights

• Coastal rainforest and rocky cove formations
• Arakwal Bundjalung cultural narratives and land connections
• Crashing ocean views from elevated headland paths
• Native bush tucker tasting and traditional bush tea

What to expect

Expect a guided walk that treats landscape as text. Your guide will point out plants, water sources, and shelter spots while explaining how knowledge of Country shaped daily life. The terrain is coastal scrub and grassed paths—uneven in places, with gentle elevation changes. You'll move for roughly an hour, then settle for food and drink while overlooking the bay. Bring water and wear sturdy shoes; the sea breeze can be brisk.

Good to know

Moderate fitness required; uneven ground and coastal exposure. Not suitable for spinal injuries or limited cardiovascular capacity. Parking available separately (fees apply). Bring water and sun protection. Allow extra time if you want photographs.
