About this activity

A spectacular Aboriginal cultural journey on the traditional lands of the Kuku Yalanji people where you will discover both natural beauty and ancient culture. Come and explore the lush tropical rainforest, mangrove & mudflats of Tropical Queensland.

Join a Kubirri Warra clan member on an authentic coastal adventure across the beach, mudflats, and mangroves of their ancestral fishing grounds. Learn about traditional bush medicines and foods and try your hand at throwing a traditional fishing spear!

Stroll along trails and elevated boardwalks through the World Heritage Listed rainforest as your driver guide shares stories and insights. Afterwards enjoy a delicious lunch infused with bush flavours served in the Mayi Café.

Explore how Dreamtime stories about animals, the environment, and language are expressed through cultural art. Binna will personally guide you through his painting techniques as you create your own small canvas to take home.
