Highlights

Leave the city of Cairns behind, before entering a stunning mangrove forest and wetlands ecosystem. Your Mandingalbay Yidinji tour guide is a traditional owner of the land. Your guide introduces a cultural landscape, bringing to life stories of creation, central to the reclamation of both country and culture over the past 20 years.

Walk the Mayi Bugan Rainforest Trail with Indigenous Guides to discover native foods and bush medicines, ancient Aboriginal traditions, customs, and artefacts. Enjoy light refreshments surrounded by the sounds of nature before returning to the Marina. Incredibly, this authentic Indigenous experience that reveals ancient secrets is only 15 minutes from Cairns.
Glide across Trinity Inlet, past tethered yachts and wetlands into the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef region.
Journey back in time on a river boat from the Cairns Marina to the rainforest-clad mountains in the distance.
Discover a cultural landscape through the eyes of the Mandingalbay Yidinji people, the traditional owners of the country.
Turn up Hills Creek, where salty sea and mountain freshwaters meet, arriving at a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony.
