A rich cultural experience - I have been wanting to do the Cruise with Culture for quite some time, and finally got the opportunity to come to the Gold Coast to do it. An absolute ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ️️️️️ experience. A great collaboration between Kokomo Cruises and Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre. The team from Kokomo provide a lovely cruising experience, whilst the guide (Heidi was our wonderful guide) from the cultural centre creates such a beautiful and respectful cultural exchange, that expands your knowledge of Aboriginal culture, history and experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Gold Coast.

Cultural Cruise Experience - This was a wonderful cruise. It was a very relaxed but informative tour. I learnt so much about the local mob- salt water people. The ‘yarning circle’ was a great opportunity to ask questions freely. Thank you Jellurgal Cultural Centre for providing this great educational experience. So proud of of this wonderful culture.

NAIDOC Week Cruise - Being Belonging Becoming - This cruise was a special one during NAIDOC week. The dynamic duo of Uncle John Graham and Heidi worked so well together! We were so lucky to see a stingray and dolphins and so much local knowledge.

A relaxed learning experience - It was a most informative relaxed cruise. The staff from the centre and the boat were very welcoming and professional. I have mobility issues and everyone was very helpful. Go on this cruise, you will love it and learn a lot about our first nations people Rosemary

Incredible daytrip on Jellurgal tour - Our group had the most wonderful experience with the Jellurgal crew, Jailen, Heidi and Kaelyn and the Kokomo crew on the Wavebreak Island boat tour. They were so open and gracious about sharing their incredible culture with us and we felt so welcomed by their beautiful, kind souls. We learnt so much about the clans of the Yugambeh people especially during our beautiful yarning circle. Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture with us! We are so grateful!
