The Boars have historically had great involvement from Indigenous players and officials, and have led the way in the Eurobodalla Shire with their Indigenous Round held every year.
More than 20 players and officials were led by traditional custodians from the local Yuin people on the climb that lasted about two hours.
The team was taken to several teaching sites, special places that connect Gulaga, Mt Mumbulla, and Didthul, including one which provided "spectacular views of Wallaga Lake, Merriman Island, and Bermagui" according to South Coast Rugby Union's Peter Ryan.
"This was an amazing experience by everyone in the group," he said.
"The learnings about the traditions and culture were enthusiastically embraced by everyone."
Boars head coach Matt Ryan said he was pleased so many young players went on the trip.
"It was something that I hope brought us together more than we were before, and gave us a better understanding of where we all come from and what makes us," he said.
"We've had a strong Indigenous presence in the club from day one, and the introduction of our Indigenous Round five years ago really highlighted that.
"The round by itself isn't enough, if we can use our club as a platform to educate, I think that's a wonderful thing."
Ryan said the club would now use inspiration from the trip to help design the jersey for the Indigenous Round in July.
"The jersey design started on the weekend, and we'll discuss it again at training," he said.
"Hopefully it'll be in production in the next few weeks."
