About this tour

What to expect
The Kokomo departs with a formal welcome that frames the experience as one of cultural exchange rather than sightseeing. As you cruise, your guide shares knowledge about how Aboriginal people have read and used this landscape—practical information woven into conversation rather than delivered as lecture. At Wavebreak Island you'll gather for the Yarning Circle, an informal discussion format where questions are welcomed. The pace is unhurried, designed so stories land properly and you can ask for clarification or deeper detail. Expect to sit on deck, be near water, and listen more than you talk.
