Yura Tours

The Ultimate Minjerribah Cultural Experience was worth every cent. What a great learning experience. Elisha is just awesome and a wealth of knowledge about all the things on the island. Truly a magical experience. Thank you!

We had an awesome time with Elisha, sharing her stories of her family, ancestors and the beautiful areas of North Stradbroke Island. Not only did we learn a lot from the tour, but we were also able to see the sights from a locals perspective. Couldn’t recommend Elisha and Kura Tours and definitely don’t go past the seafood picnic on the beach. Thanks again and hopefully we get back up to the island some day.

The tour was really amazing! Tour guide and host Elisha took my husband and I to show around the places where we never been and tell us about the Quandamooka people, places and the deep history. We feel more appreciative that Quandamooka people and country are still welcoming us to visit or stay on this beautiful island. This tour was an eye-opener for us to understand this deep, rich culture and nature on this country!

Elisha is amazing. I'd actually spied her giving one of these tours years earlier, and was so affected by her magnetic, grounded and uplifting energy that I promised myself I would treat myself one day. I finally booked our Yura Tour earlier this month with a group of friends at the start of a special holiday on Minjerribah, and it couldn't have been a more beautiful opener. Elisha is friendly, down to earth, deeply knowledgable about country (with many incredible stories of direct family experience) and just a real joy to be near. We all felt more deeply connected to this special place and so many friends commented on how wonderful she was and thanked me for including this as it was such a special and meaningful addition to our stay. Thank you Elisha! You're a superstar and I will be recommending your tours far and wide! We appreciate you so much xoxo

I was so excited to find a high quality and personalised indigenous tour of Minjerribah! We live on Quandamooka Country and it was so great to have this experience with someone who was able to share with us the beautiful stories and knowledge of the island. We had a fantastic morning and enjoyed every minute! Elisha was incredibly kind and welcoming. She was really thoughtful on checking in with me about the terrain and walking (as I have some physical limitations) and made my daughter feel so included in everything! We were able to taste some native berries and learn about native plant uses. This was the perfect experience for us as homeschoolers to learn about our local area. We even had a bonus dog companion in the car! ❤️

We had the most wonderful 3-hour cultural driving tour with Elisha exploring all of the most stunning hidden gems of Minjerribah (Straddie) 🥰 Elisha is an absolutely beautiful soul, and a wealth of Aboriginal cultural and historical knowledge which she shares with such passion for her island home and her Quandamooka people. Elisha takes her visitors on a relaxed walk through Country where her ancestors lived and foraged for food, and where they struggled under colonial rule, telling stories of creation and of times past, and sharing her joy of the flora and fauna. By the end of the tour you can really share in the magic of this place and the importance of continuing to preserve this fascinating cultural history. An incredible experience worth every minute! 🏝️Thank you SO much Elisha, we will never forget this!

We had a fantastic walking tour with Elisha on beautiful Quandamooka Country. A great insight into the traditional uses of plants as foods, fibres and medicines, creation stories and the living culture of her People. She was so good with our young kids too, and our 6 year old said it was one of her favourite experiences ever. Thank you Elisha

This was a very special experience from Yura Tours. With a small group, Elisha took us around significant natural and cultural stops around Minjerribah. As a Quandamooka woman, she shared her family and nation's knowledge of the land and history. The weather wasn't great, but we persevered and learned so much from her. We even got a glimpse of some kangaroos and koalas, and visited the beautiful shop of a local designer. I only wish we had more time to spend with her!
