Had the pleasure of embarking on this journey with a mixed group of Indigenous tourism operators from WA and a bunch of whitefellas. Adventure North is the tour operator and uses its 4wd busses to link a number of small Indigenous tourism ventures between Cairns and Cooktown. You need to be adventurous and reasonably mobile but age is not an...

Thank you for the review, the reason I called the tour Amazing Bama Way is because as you said "AMAZING". Each day as you experienced offers a different aspect to Aboriginal culture in our region of Tropical North Queensland, which in itself also offers such diverse and beautiful scenery.
I recently went hunting myself with the Walker brothers and as...

It!s unfortunate that this happened however KukuYalanji have now been operating for 7 years and I work with them on a daily basis and this is not something we experience. My company Adventure North operate a tour with them called Daintree Dreaming and we are proud to be associated with this wonderful Aboriginal Cultural experience.
