Koomal Dreaming Tours offers immersive experiences that connect you with culture like never before. We love the half-day Aboriginal Food Cave and Didge Tour that starts with a guided bushwalk and a forage for native ingredients and bush medicine. Then it’s time to enter the Ngilgi Cave for some storytelling, and lessons in traditional fire-starting and tool making.

You’ll also enjoy a magical didgeridoo performance in the acoustic surrounds before a nourishing lunch around the campfire. This tour is truly one that will delight all the senses.
