About the Tour

Aboriginal Food Cave and
Didge Tour

This Aboriginal food tour engages all five of your senses and delivers an immersive experience like no other.

Join Josh on a guided bushwalk where you’ll forage for seasonal native foods and medicines and delve into their cultural significance. Then it’s into the heart of Ngilgi Cave, where Josh’s authentic storytelling brings the Dreaming legends to life.

Here, you’ll be treated to a one-of-a-kind didgeridoo performance, its ancient melodies amplified by the cave’s magnificent acoustics.

Gain insights into the six Noongar seasons and their impact on hunting and gathering practices. Witness the art of traditional fire lighting and tool making, and learn the fascinating history behind the ancestral artifacts you can touch and feel.

This tour culminates with a gourmet BBQ lunch around Josh’s campfire, with native food tastings served with Margaret River Region wine and beer. Depending on the season, you might savour kangaroo, emu, quandong, emu plum, and salt bush.

This is a sensory-rich 3-hour native food tour that connects you deeply with the land and its ancient culture.

The tour was very interesting and was the perfect balance of learning about the local Aboriginal culture, tools and traditions, exploring the Ngili caves and trying delicious bush tucker. Josh is a great guide who is very knowledgable and kind in sharing his culture and traditions. Highly recommended!

I was recently visiting Yallingup for a week and this tour was my highlight of my time there…. which is saying a lot given how beautiful everything in this part of the world is! Josh from Koomal Dreaming was incredibly knowledgeable and was so generous in answering all the questions we all had. This tour is a ‘must-do’ for any one visiting the area … You walk away with a renewed perspective and deeper apprection of the land you are walking on. I would do this tour again and plan to bring friends and family along next time.
