Koorda's Crew Tours & Workshops

Give the kids a chance to explore Wadjemup’s Aboriginal culture through stories, hands-on fun, and imagination.

Turn learning into an unforgettable adventure with Koorda’s Crew, where Aboriginal tours and workshops connect children to the culture of the Noongar people. 

As the island’s only 100% Aboriginal-owned and operated children’s experience provider, Koorda’s Crew invites families to discover Wadjemup through the eyes of the Noongar people.  

Every tour and workshop is designed to share culture, connection to Country, and stories that have been passed down through generations.  

Children can dive into the current Noongar season on a guided walking tour or let their creativity flow in a joyful, hands-on craft workshop. 

For something truly unique, children can also combine play and learning by building a Legoscape inspired by the current Noongar season and its impact on Country, a fun way to connect creativity with culture.  

This is a chance for kids to learn, create, and connect with culture in a way that’s fun, meaningful, and unforgettable.
