About the experience

The experience begins with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, followed by an introduction to fishing equipment and a safety briefing. Participants then walk to the beach, learn the pipi dance, see a beach worming demonstration and fish using locally gathered bait.

The program returns to the picnic area for cultural cooking of fish and pipis, bush tucker, local culture and wildlife.
