In this, Queensland’s Year of Indigenous Tourism, The Whitsundays has announced the launch of its first guided indigenous tour, the Ngaro Indigenous Cultural Tour by Whitsunday Paradise Explorer.
“At last year’s Queensland Tourism Awards, the state government announced 2020 to be the year of Indigenous Tourism; we’re excited to be able to offer The Whitsundays first guided indigenous tour through Whitsunday Paradise Explorer,” said Tourism Whitsundays Chief Executive Office Tash Wheeler.
The Ngaro Indigenous Cultural Tour will provide a unique experience delivered by Traditional Ngaro Indigenous Guides. They will be sharing stories and messages in the hope guests develop a greater understanding of the history of the Ngaro Tribe, an ancient-island-sea tribe with strong traditions and customs.
The tour will also demonstrate how they hunted and sourced bush tucker, guests will have the opportunity to learn how to throw handmade fishing spears and enjoy a delicious gourmet lunch, including damper & refreshing billy tea on the beach after an informative and relaxing island bushwalk.
Owner and Operator of Whitsunday Paradise Explorer John Henderson is excited to be sharing this tour after 18 months of planning.
“Whitsunday Paradise Explorer has a simple mission – to increase the awareness of indigenous culture within our region while providing its guests with an experience of a lifetime!
“Whitsunday Paradise Explorer is a little boat tour and charter company with a big heart and great attitude that provides its guests with “an experience of a lifetime” by delivering personalised, quality, unique, and memorable tours in the beautiful Whitsundays.”
