Description
Set sail from Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal and, in just 15 minutes by vessel, you'll find yourself on the doorstep of the Mandingalbay Yidinji people's Country. This hands-on eco tour lets you step into the ancient rainforest, guided by Mob who call this patch of Far North Queensland home.
Kick off your morning with a proper Welcome to Country, then tag along with your local guides as they share deep yarns about Indigenous customs and the strong connection between culture and land. You'll learn how to source bush tucker right from the rainforest; no supermarket needed here.
It's a lively, small group adventure where every stop means something. Expect light refreshments along the journey, think fresh fruit and a good cuppa, plus plenty of stories, friendly faces and a down-to-earth atmosphere the whole way through.
The tour departs the Cairns Reef Terminal at 9am and wraps up at 12pm. Pack your water bottle, don the hat and sturdy shoes, and get ready to tread gently on some truly special Country just outside Cairns.
