In 1998, a group of Redfern residents came together with the vision of revitalising Aboriginal culture through economic and social stability.
Tribal Warrior has been a central part of the Redfern community for over two decades. Throughout this time of rebuild and change, our vision has been unwavering – we empower our community through connection to culture and family. All our activities are designed to contribute to a Redfern that is strong in its history, proud of its achievements, and economically self-sustaining into the future.

"Did the New Year's Eve fireworks cruise with Tribal Warrior. The food was great, the drinks were cold and the scenery was incredible. Being on the water for the fireworks with no one blocking our view was awesome! The DJ was good, great people on the boat. We felt very comfortable. Position did allow all to see, especially those on the bow. Being part of the parade was neat and all the boats with the coordinated light show was a fun treat!!. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again as there was lots of room for everyone!!"

"Our entire group enjoyed the cruise!. We were a group of college students visiting from California and this experience did a great job of teaching some of the Aboriginal history of Sydney. The views of the harbour and Clark Island were also incredible. Of all the many harbour cruise offerings in Sydney, this is the best."

"After a lot of research we chose Tribal Warrior NYE cruise to see in the New Year while we were staying in Sydney and are 100% pleased we did! It was a totally amazing night and one we will never forget! From the moment we arrived to meet the boat, everything was extremely well organized and instantly we felt reassured it was going to be the best night ever! The food was absolutely delicious and the crew worked extremely hard to get it all out so quickly. In fact the crew were so friendly and amazing the whole night. The entire evening was so enjoyable, sailing up the river, being part of the smoking ceremony, the light parade, soaking in the atmosphere from the shores, itwas just all fantastic. There was a lovely atmosphere on the vessel. The entertainment was great. The fireworks were out of this world and we were in a prime position, making the whole experience one we will never forget! I really can't rate this experience enough - if you are thinking about it - do it - you will not regret it!"

"Would highly recommend this cruise to visitors and Sydneysiders.Blake and Keara were awesome telling us about the cultural names and meanings of harbour landmarks, as well as cultural performance and education on Me-Mel Island which has been handed back to Aboriginal ownership."

" The staff and crew were fantastic. Being on Sydney harbour and hearing some local history from an Aboriginal perspective was great. Being allowed on Goat Island and Me-Mel was a priviledge."

"Thank you for having us on the Tribal Warrior 22 October 2024. We had a lovely time on your boat and it was very informative. Both Keara and Brock did an excellent presentation on Goat Island including us in the dancing and also having a special friendship with the magpies. I thought the crew did a great job."

"Tribal Warrior cruise was a great way to experience the Sydney Harbour from the perspective of the Aboriginal history. Travelling to Goat Island and learning about the Gadigal people and history was well worth it. The cruise is not that long and the interactive piece while on the island was enjoyable and educational."

"We spent 3 weeks touring Australia and NZ and the tour offereed by Tribal Warrior to Clark Island was the BEST of the BEST! Although only an hour long, we left with a much better understanding of the Aboriginal culture. Their work with at-risk Aboriginal yough is exceptional. So, in between the tours of the Opera House and others down by the wharf, find an hour for this group! I promise you will not be disappointed."

"I am writing on behalf of my team within Corrective service. We were funded from DCJ to attend your cultural cruise on Tuesday 25th of Feb. I would just like to let you know how amazing this experience was! My team and I have attended many cultural events and training in the past, yet this was something so different. Keara was incredible!! She was so engaging, informative and knowledgeable. She proudly danced and sang and demonstrated her love for her culture. We all walked away learning so much about Aboriginal Peoples. Please pass on our many thanks to her, she truly made this a wonderful learning experience for us. We could not recommend this cultural cruise enough! Thank you again to the whole team on the day it was a fabulous experience."

"I was lucky to be one of the guests on your cruise organised with Babana and Uncle Marlon Friday night. I had a wonderful night and learnt so much from the shared speakers on the night.
Please pass on my thanks to all or your warm and welcoming team- your hospitality was second to none and the generous delight you take in looking after your guests really turned around my week. Thank you and I'll be recommending what you do to everyone I met (especially the potential of charter bookers!). It was a privilege to be a guest for the night."
