deep but short insight into a respecful culture

Sabine_D, Oct 2024
The fishing song story of the elder touched my heart. Amazing how they rebuild the rainforest in such a short time, when all Cape Byron was a banana plantation before. Profund nature knowledge.

Great tour to understand the deep indigenous heritage of the Byron area

Delta gave the small group a clear and detailed explanation of the history of the Bunjalung nation of the Byron area pointing out significant sites. The walk through the rain forest was beautiful and the explanation and tasting of bush tucker was a fantastic experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to all visitors to experience the 'Real Byron'

Amazing tour - would 100% recommend

Don't miss it!

Wonderful tour with Delta. We learned so much about the area and the history of the first nations people of Byron. Delta walked us through beautiful forest and introduced us to plants that provide food and medicine. We were impressed by the whale breaching on command, and also saw a koala and tawny frogmouth on our walk. The spread of bush food at the end was really enlightening. So glad we took this tour! Thank you!

Enriching experience

Amazing experience to learn from Delta about stories from her family about indigenous life on the Cape. It has changed my perspective about this beautiful place, to now see it as an indigenous sacred area. Great bush tucker and conversations!
