Flames of the Forest

Tucked away in Port Douglas, Flames of the Forest offers an unforgettable Aboriginal cultural dining experience in the heart of Queensland’s World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics rainforest. This immersive evening blends fine dining with the rich storytelling traditions of the Kuku Yalanji people, the Traditional Custodians of the region.

As you’re welcomed along a flame-lit path into a magical rainforest setting, you’ll discover a silk-lined marquee glowing softly beneath hand-crafted crystal chandeliers. Once seated, you’ll begin with sparkling wine and canapés before enjoying a seven-dish banquet of modern Australian cuisine showcasing locally sourced ingredients and native bush flavours.

Throughout the evening, Kuku Yalanji hosts share their culture through music, ceremony, and Dreamtime storytelling, inviting you to gain a deeper understanding of their strong connection to Country. You’re encouraged to pause, listen to the sounds of the rainforest, and embrace a moment of quiet reflection and connection with the land.

With guest numbers limited to just 60, you’ll be part of an intimate and authentic celebration of culture, cuisine, and nature set in one of Australia’s most breathtaking landscapes.
