Two Day Amazing Bama Way Discovery Tour


Adventure North Australia is proud to be a part of the Bama Way, this is an aboriginal journey from Cairns to north of Cooktown, following story lines through two aboriginal nations. This exclusive two day guided tour is operated by the traditional custodians of the local areas.

The word 'Bama' (pronounced Bumma) is widely used throughout Cape York to mean Aboriginal person, but in Kuku Yalanji and Guugu Yimithir, the word simply means 'person' regardless of nationality or race. The Bama Way Discovery tour is a two day journey through Far North Queensland - a journey along story lines through coastal mangroves, rich rainforest and hilltop Savannah. Experience three Aboriginal owned and operated tours with an Aboriginal driver and guide.
