Full-day tour
Step into the heart of the Daintree on an unforgettable cultural journey led by local Aboriginal guides.

🌿 Aboriginal Coastal Adventure
On this Daintree Dreaming tour, walk alongside a member of the Kubirri Warra clan through their ancestral coastal homeland. Wander across beaches, tidal mudflats, and mangrove ecosystems as you learn traditional hunting and gathering techniques, including how to spot bush foods and medicines. Try your hand at spear throwing – just as their ancestors have for thousands of years!
🌳 Manjal Dimbi – Mossman Gorge Rainforest Walk
Immerse yourself in the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest with a gentle guided walk along elevated boardwalks and forest trails. Your guide will share stories of the land and its spiritual significance. Then, relax with a delicious bush-flavoured lunch at the Mayi Café, set at the edge of the lush rainforest.
🎨 Aboriginal Art & Cultural Experience
Visit the Janbal Gallery for a hands-on art session with celebrated Kuku Yalanji artist Brian ‘Binna’ Swindley. Discover how Dreamtime stories are told through painting, and learn traditional techniques as you create your own take-home canvas under Binna’s expert guidance.
