Festival tickets and highly-coveted camping spots will go on sale late next month for one of the country's standout Indigenous cultural tourism events.

More than 1500 people are expected to attend next April's much-anticipated Jamba Nyinayi Festival on the world heritage-listed Ningaloo (Nyinggulu) coastline, which has been extended to three days over the 2025 Easter holiday long weekend after the success of previous years and to give patrons a chance to properly experience the natural wonders Western Australia's north-west coastline.

Run by Baiyungu Aboriginal Corporation – owners of the spectacular Cardabia Station on the Nyinggulu coastline – the festival program is a soulful celebration of Indigenous connection, culture and community, with festival-goers able to participate in experiences via music, dance, storytelling and workshops.

Baiyungu Traditional Owner and festival cultural director, Hazel Walgar, said 2025's festival theme was 'Connection', with the artistic program to honour the deep and timeless interconnectedness of the Baiyungu people.

Jamba Nyinayi means 'sit for a while' in Baiyungu language.

As Traditional Owners, the Baiyungu People have always welcomed and guided visitors safely through Nyinggulu Country, with Ms Walgar saying her people had long understood what newcomers were just beginning to discover.

"Nyinggulu is a special and unique place which connects to our hearts and souls, continually drawing visitors back," she said.

"Knowledge-sharing through cultural practice and language is extremely important for us, and this festival allows our younger generation to learn customs and language and preserve our unique heritage.

"Many younger Baiyungu people are involving themselves in the cultural learning experiences of the festival, which is a key motivator for us."

Artistic director David Hyams said the Baiyungu peoples' connection to the land, sea and its creatures - regarded as the spirits of Baiyungu ancestors – underscored their profound bond with the relatively untouched and incredibly biodiverse part of the natural world.

"This is reflected in their relationship to Country, the Ningaloo reef area and their ongoing ancestral stories," Ms Hyams said.

Based on the success of the 2023 and 2024 festivals, the cultural program was also extended to three days so travellers from farther away could stay longer on the iconic Cardabia Station – owned by the BAC – and enjoy the pristine surrounds of Coral Bay and Nyinggulu.

Event organiser David Chitty encouraged those interested to plan ahead and secure a spot by the campfire at Cardabia Station for the Jamba Nyinayi Festival, which runs from April 18-20.

"As limited accommodation is available in Coral Bay and surrounds over Easter, we'll also be offering camping stays of four or five nights (April 17-21) for those wishing to enjoy a station-stay holiday with a genuine cultural tourism experience," Mr Chitty said.

Interested attendees can enrol their interest on the event website and take advantage of earlybird offers. Camping packages for three, four and five nights included festival entry, plus a range of inclusions and options.

All campers and festival attendees can enjoy the hugely popular 'campfire sessions', main stage dance and music performances, cultural workshops, food and arts markets and station amenities.

Cardabia Station is just a five-minute drive from the township of Coral Bay, and only a kilometre as the crow flies to stunning Batemans Bay.
