The Mandingalbay Yidinji people have lived in harmony with their environment for tens of thousands of years, and this tour allows you to immerse yourself in their way of life, visiting places of cultural significance and sourcing native food in the rainforest. Join your local guide as you cruise across Trinity Inlet and along the peaceful Hills Creek, as you head deeper into the expanse of the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef region. Take in the beautiful mangrove-ridden wetlands before being welcomed by the Mandingalbay Yidinji people with a traditional smoking and cleansing ceremony. After a short bus ride, walk the Mayi Bugan Rainforest Trail with Indigenous guides to discover native foods and bush medicines, ancient Aboriginal traditions, customs, and artefacts. Learn some ancient secrets and gain an understanding of the connection between Country and Aboriginal culture. Enjoy light refreshments of delicious coconut damper, tea and fresh fruit, surrounded by the sounds of nature before returning to the Marina. You won't believe this unforgettable authentic experience could be just a short boat ride from Cairns.
