This tour is conducted on Limilngan-Wulna Country and we travel out to Djukbinj National Park to carry out the experience. You will be immersed in an unforgettable and genuine experience. Come and walk with us!

Make your way to Pudakul and check-in. Enjoy an Aboriginal Art session learning the different art painting styles. You will create your own painting on canvas guided by one of our friendly staff.

Up next, at 4.30pm you will enjoy a 2 Hour Aboriginal cultural experience. During this experience you will learn about the different local plant usages, have a go at throwing a spear and more.

After the 2 Hour tour, dinner will be served on the deck overlooking the billabong while watching the evening sunset. After dinner, retreat to your self-contained unit in air-conditioned comfort.
