Learn the true history and culture of the Arakwal people and Bunjalung Country - Highly recommend Delta Kay's walking tour of beautiful Cavanbah/Byron. She shares centuries-old stories and traditions of the Arakwal people, along with Indigenous foods, tea and music. The gentle walk is easy for all ages and takes in the sights of the beach, botanicals and ocean. Delta's tour is a must for people keen to learn the true history and culture of Bunjalung Country.

If you only have time for one Byron Bay tour ... this is it ! - This is a brilliant cultural tour. Delta takes the groups on a short walking tour as she explains local Aboriginal yarns and the local history. She is a local herself and has deep cultural background. The tour winds up with a spectacular bush tucker tasting, along with a wonderful explanation of Aboriginal healing plants. Not to be missed.

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.

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.
