As the sun starts to descend over the Great Dividing Range located towards the western side of Cairns, join our tour for some Aboriginal culture and meet your Mandingalbay Yidjinji guide. The journey will take you towards the wetlands and mangrove forests of East Trinity Reserve.
As the sun begins to set over the Great Dividing Range behind Cairns and Tropical North Queensland, join us for an enriching journey into Aboriginal culture. Begin your adventure with a warm welcome from your Mandingalbay Yidinji guide, who will accompany you throughout the tour.
Your Aboriginal tour starts with a scenic river cruise from the Cairns Marlin Marina, leading you through the stunning wetlands and mangrove forests of East Trinity Reserve. This Indigenous protected area blends ancient knowledge with modern science to foster innovative conservation efforts.
Upon arrival at the Stingray Shelter, you will be greeted with a traditional Welcoming to Country ceremony. Initiated male Aboriginal elders perform a ceremonial smoking using leaves from the paperbark tree, or alternatively, use traditional ochre paint called "mugra" to create welcoming symbols on your face.
Explore the rich heritage of the Mandingalbay Yidinji aboriginal people as your guide shares fascinating stories, ancient language, practices, and traditional artifacts that are still made and utilised today. This cultural immersion is enhanced by the exquisite beauty of the mangrove forests and the serene atmosphere of the wetlands.
As you enjoy the evening ambiance, indulge in light canapés and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages served by our attentive team. Soak in the serene surroundings and the rich cultural narratives shared by your Aboriginal tour guide.
The return journey to Cairns Harbour offers a breathtaking view of the city lights reflecting on the water, providing a perfect conclusion to your Aboriginal tour and cultural adventure. This unique night-time experience is designed to leave you with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the oldest living culture in the world.
Join us for this unparalleled Aboriginal tour and cultural journey and create lasting memories of your time in Cairns.
