About Wajaana Yaam Adventure Tours
Wajaana Yaam Adventure Tours is an Aboriginal-owned and operated paddling company offering culturally guided stand-up paddleboard and kayak tours on the waterways of the Coffs Coast. Run by local Gumbaynggirr people, the business shares Country through the lens of tens of thousands of years of continuous connection, blending gentle on-water adventure with genuine cultural storytelling.
Guided clear-water SUP and kayak tours depart from sites including Coffs Creek, Red Rock and the Bongil Bongil National Park estuaries, where guides interpret the landscape, point out bush foods and medicines along the banks, and explain the cultural significance of the waterways. Tours are designed to be accessible to all abilities, with stable boards and calm, protected water making them suitable for families and complete beginners. Groups are kept small so guests can hear the stories and paddle at an easy pace.
What makes Wajaana Yaam unique is the combination of soft adventure and authentic First Nations cultural immersion — this is paddling with purpose, led by people sharing their own heritage. The experience offers visitors a far deeper understanding of the Coffs Coast than a standard tour, and supports an Indigenous enterprise keeping cultural knowledge alive on the water.
