Yooribaya Cultural Experiences aims to deliver first-class experiences for guests. They believe that connecting with nature is best experienced through the eyes of Traditional Owners, who have utilised their knowledge of the land for thousands of years. The Yooribaya group proudly practices and preserves their rich culture by sharing it with others, committed to providing excellent cultural services across the Whitsunday Region.
As Traditional Owners of Ngaro Country, expanding from Airlie Beach across Cumberland Island, their ancestors have been living right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef for over 60,000 years. Yooribaya Cultural Experiences provides visitors to their land with the chance to experience ancient lands through ancient hands.
Yooribaya Cultural Experiences offers an important 'Welcome to Country' ceremony. In honour of being welcomed by a Traditional Owner of the land, the ceremony is a way of showing respect. As their personal guests on this land and in these waters, you will be included in this ceremony. They also have interactive workshops where your guests can immerse themselves in a unique and culturally rich experience. Guests have the opportunity to experience boomerang throwing, spear throwing, ochre painting, and learning the language, all while the team demonstrates and shares the history.

TESTIMONIAL
Robert’s Welcome to Country was terrific – he had the crowd engaged and interested and Catherine and I loved chatting with him afterwards to hear about some of his experiences and stories. We hope to work with him again in future.
