My day continues equally well when I join Linc Walker for a cultural habitat tour at nearby Cooya Beach. Linc is a young member of the Kuku Yalanji tribe, which has lived among these coastal rainforests for tens of thousands of years. He is also a born teacher, sharing his heritage and knowledge of the mangrove swamps where he has fished and foraged since he was small with ease and pride.

As we follow muddy fishing trails between tangled branches, we learn what miraculous plants mangroves are, crucial to the coastal eco-system in providing, among other things, a protective nursery for growing fish. They are also a rich and varied source of tucker - from mud crabs to whelks and molluscs - for those who know where to look.

His people, as Linc explains, were careful not to overfish, however, so as to allow nature to replenish itself.

Adventure North NEW 4WD VEHICLE HAS ARRIVED!

Our new 16 seat 4WD vehicle allows Adventure North to offer
The Daintree Dreaming tour on a regular basis.

This is an exclusive product offering an authentic Aboriginal cultural experience with the Walker boys at Cooya Beach 10 minutes north of Port Douglas, and the spectacular Niau Waterfalls on the private property Tranquility on the Daintree.

Linc and Brandon Walker of Kuku Yulanji Cultural Habitat Tours follow the traditions of their ancestors, educating visitors how they care for their country. Walk with them on one of the beach, mudflat tours. After an amazing morning tea and talk, journey to the Daintree Village for a 1 hour river cruise. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park before travelling to a private property (Tranquility on the Daintree) visiting Niau Falls, time for a swim and a guided rainforest walk.

A great tour for international guests, or maybe for the repeat visitor to our region.
