As the sun sets low over the Great Dividing Range to the west of Cairns, Meet your guide and push off from Cairns Marina in our new, covered River Cruise vessel, bound for East Trinity Reserve. Cruise across from the Marina to discover an Indigenous Protected Area where ancient knowledge meets science to deliver world-first conservation programs.
Cruise along an avenue of ancient mangrove forests. Upon arrival at the Stingray Shelter, enjoy the ancient Mandingalbay custom of a Welcoming to Country and Smoking Cleansing Ceremony. Listen to our Mandingalbay Yidinji rangers speak of ancient language, practices and learn about traditional tools, instruments and weapons made from the land.
Canapes and beverages will be served throughout the evening by our team.
After the event, cruise quietly through the beautiful mangrove lined waterways back into Cairns, revealing the beauty of the city lights from a completely different perspective.
Nothing compares to this unique night time experience.

5 months agoWe just spent a wonderful morning sharing and experiencing a terrific Eco tour. Well organised ,easy access onto an open boat, travelled across the Cairns harbour to the inlet , learning all the time from the very informative guides, Alicia. We even saw crocodiles, as well as many beautiful local birds , and wildlife. Landed at a stunning shelter beside the Bund/wall. So much to learn and see. A comfortable and again informative drive to the Ranger station, where we partook in a welcome to country , smoking ceremony. Another great guide Vic , explained , taught and regaled us with great information. A terrific interesting walk up through native plants , trees , bush foods to a midden. Finished with a lovely fresh morning tea. A terrific experience all around A superb way to learn and share some indigenous culture. Thankyou all

a week agoMagnificent! What a magical way to learn about the history and the beauty of the Eastern side of Trinity Inlet, so lovely to hear the cultural stories and try to understand this ancient history and peoples. Wonderful and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the indigenous cultures of Cairns and Australia.

a year agoAn excellent tour and Cultural experience. Very informative and engaging. The guided walk was educational and well paced. There was a great talk demonstrating indigenous tools, including how they were made and used. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Morning tea with a variety of fresh fruit and Devonshire tea was deservedly popular. Highly recommended.

6 months agoAmazing experience, the guides are very knowledgeable and engaging. The are fun, kind and polite. The scenery is just different to what you’re used to see in Cairns and it’s very necessary to realise where we all are standing at. Smoke ceremony, displays and canapés all together are great. 100% recommended for half day or less time experience. Book in advance as they do the Sunset tour for groups only
