About this tour
Navigate the Gold Coast Broadwater aboard the Kokomo, a boutique vessel designed for small groups seeking genuine cultural knowledge. Over 2.5 hours, you'll learn directly from Aboriginal guides about the region's First Nations heritage, waterways, and seasonal traditions. The journey includes a formal Welcome, time at Wavebreak Island for deeper conversation, and waterside perspectives rarely available to visitors. This is cultural learning anchored in storytelling rather than surface-level sightseeing.

- Aboriginal guide-led yarning circle at Wavebreak Island
- Insights into local seasonal practices and land connection

What to expect
Expect a structured but conversational experience. You'll board the Kokomo for a scenic cruise through sheltered waterways while an Aboriginal guide contextualises the landscape—explaining how country, water, and seasonal cycles shape cultural practice. At Wavebreak Island, the group will anchor and shift into a seated yarning circle, an informal discussion format where questions are encouraged and the guide shares stories and knowledge relevant to what guests ask. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a rushed commentary tour. Bring curiosity and patience for quiet moments.
