Whale Watching Port Elliot

Discover the sacred Ramindjeri site of Kaike, known to many as Granite Island. On this unique cultural experience, you’ll learn how Nurrunderi, the creator, shaped the landscape, including The Bluff, by casting his club into the sea from Umbrella Rocks during his journey.
Nurrunderi provided for the Ngarrindjeri people and today welcomes all visitors to the Fleurieu Peninsula to appreciate the land he created.
Granite Island, or Kaike, is one of many significant landforms he shaped. As you walk with a Ramindjeri guide across this sacred land—known as Ruwe —you’ll hear the Dreaming stories of Nurrunderi and Kondoli, the whale, shared by cultural custodians. As you explore Kaike, you’ll also encounter the "Old Man" in the land, a guardian spirit, and learn how Nurrunderi's creation continues to inspire and protect.
