deep but short insight into a respecful culture - The fishing song story of the elder touched my heart. Amazing how they rebuild the rainforest in such a short time, when all Cape Byron was a banana plantation before. Profund nature knowledge.

enlightening - It was an amazing experience , so much was learnt from our very knowledgeable guide. It is a must do when ever in Byron and I'll be recommending it to anyone I know who will be visiting Byron. The table of bush tucker (spoiler) at the end of the walk is fabulous .

Wonder filled tour - As a long time local it was a privilege to hear the ancient stories of this stunning place from its Traditional Owner, Auntie Delta Kay. Her knowledge, wisdom, inclusivity and inclusion is infectious and enlightening. It was a wonderful few hours spent in her company. I’d encourage all those who live on Bundjalung land to join her tours.

Great tour to understand the deep indigenous heritage of the Byron area - Delta gave the small group a clear and detailed explanation of the history of the Bunjalung nation of the Byron area pointing out significant sites. The walk through the rain forest was beautiful and the explanation and tasting of bush tucker was a fantastic experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to all visitors to experience the 'Real Byron'
