 Traditional Owners Offering Educational Experiences

 

 

We are so grateful to be located in a part of Australia where Traditional Owners are accessible and willing to offer our groups insight into their country, language, art and culture.  We have made it our policy to offer Indigenous perspectives on every tour.  In the immediate Cairns region alone, we acknolwedge the Djabugay, Yirrganydji, Buluwai, Gimuy Walubara Yidinji, Mandingalbay Yidinji, Gunggandji, Dulabed and Malanbara Yidinji, Bundabarra and Wadjanbarra Yidinji, Wanyurr Majay, Mamu and NgadjonJii peoples.

  3. Painting Project with An Artist of Butchalla, Darraba, Djirrribal ancestry
  4. Overnight cultural immersion experience with Mandingalbay Yidinji rangers and guides

B. Our COVID-Safe Plan is Extensive.

  1. Our COVID-Safe Plan has been approved by the Australia Tourism Industry Council (ATIC). Businesses that display COVID Clean Practising Business logo provide a reassurance to customers that they have developed and initiated business practices which are specifically aimed to maintain high hygiene standards within their business aimed to stop the spread of COVID-19.  New practices include pre-screening customers both on their booking form and when they arrive at the Cairns airport; surface sanitising our buses (which carry only your group at one time – no outsiders); providing masks for everyone if they want to wear them; enabling customer and staff contact tracing; and a safety talk at the beginning of the trip that specifically addresses practices that can help the spread of COVID-19 (and other diseases).

C. We Check Our Suppliers’ Compliance

  1. In addition to our usual quality control checks, we have personally inspected our suppliers (accommodation, restaurants, and  activities) to ensure that their actions are in line with their COVID plan. If we feel that a supplier is not compliant with their own COVID-19 safety plan, then we will not use their services.

We do custom trips!

Still haven’t found exactly what you are looking for? All our tours are fully customisable and can be catered to suit your time-frame, student interests and budget. A geography excursion to the Great Barrier Reef? A biology excursion to the Daintree Rainforest? An Aboriginal culture excursion? Our educational trips in Queensland and New South Wales are hand-crafted for those who cannot find exactly what they want from the inflexible set itineraries of large tour operators.

If you are looking for a science trip, ecology trip, Aboriginal culture, or just a sample of the best of Australia – we can help.
