About this tour
Spend eight hours on country with a Kuku Yalanji guide learning how the local Aboriginal people live with and care for their land around Daintree. Walk through rainforest and along the coast, discovering which plants feed and heal, have a go at spear throwing, wade for mud crabs, and finish with a swim in freshwater. This isn't a museum tour—you're learning directly from people whose families have managed this country for thousands of years.
Highlights
- Learn plant knowledge from a Kuku Yalanji guide on country
- Taste bush tucker and identify native foods
- Attempt spear throwing and traditional hunting methods
- Wade for mud crabs in shallow waters
- Rainforest and coastal habitat walk combined
- Swim in a freshwater stream to cool off
What to expect
Your guide will walk you through both rainforest and coastal areas, stopping regularly to explain how the Kuku Yalanji people use different plants for food and medicine. You'll handle a spear and try throwing—don't expect to be an expert. There's a practical component: wading into shallows to collect shellfish and hunt for mud crabs, which means getting wet and dirty. You'll sample bush tucker prepared on country. The pace suits all fitness levels, though you'll be on your feet most of the day in humid weather. Lunch is fresh wraps with cold meat and salad; tea breaks are included.
Good to know
Bring sturdy shoes suitable for wet ground and reef walking. Sun protection essential. Infant seats available if needed. Vehicle is air-conditioned for transport between sites. Bring a change of clothes for the freshwater swim.
