Wonderful time spent with the aborigines

Published on Sep, 2024

Great tour out crabbing with an aborigine. We went back to his house and had the fresh crab. We then went with another aborigine to the Daintree mountains and had a wonderful tour and lunch with a demonstration on medicinal plants in the forest.

Wonderful day, well worth it!

Published on Jul, 2024

What a fantastic day! We had a fantastic guide and driver (Bridget) who taught us so much about the area while we were driving around. We had a lovely morning walking through the rainforests learning about the foods, medicines and history of the area. We had a wonderful lunch (my partner had the crocodile and I had the vegetable stack). Followed by a very relaxed afternoon on the beach having a go with spears finding mud crabs. We then got to try the freshest crab I have ever eaten, and saw lots of local shells and items from the sea. I would strongly recommend this day tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the indigenous Australians in the cairns region, it was very much worth the money.

A Great Cultural Experience

Published on Feb, 2024

We loved learning about native customs, traditions and the ways aboriginal people used resources from the forest for medicine, food and building materials. Our guide was terrific!

Great Daintree experience

Published on Jul, 2023

We had a great time on the Daintree trip. It was only our family of 5 departing from Cairns, so our driver Mark was a great private guide to help explain the local flora and fauna. On the drive home he stopped on the side of the road where he spotted some wallaby so we could get a closer look. The spearfishing portion was amazing with everyone able to stab some sand crabs for lunch. It was a long walk through shallow water with a muddy surface, so you need to be in decent shape, but worth it. We ran short of time during the fishing part, so didn't get to eat the crab, but we drove over to Daintree for a nice lunch there. We experienced the welcome smoking ceremony and were guided around a path through Daintree. The boulders up on that mountain rainforest are like something out of science fiction. All in all a great day.

Dream run!

Published on Apr, 2022

Started and continued the day right on time. Personable and very well informed guides. Loved the welcome to country ceremony and the walk through the rainforest to Mossman Gorge was exhilarating. There was an option to do traditional aboriginal fishing or aboriginal art & culture in the afternoon. Both were great and interesting options but we chose the art option. Our attention was held by Binna, the artist in residence at Janbal Gallery where the art option was held, as he spoke of the history of indigenous art. He also guided us through creating our own small canvas to take home. It was an amazing experience.
