Mandingalbay Authentic Indigenous Tours

Just a short boat ride from Cairns Harbour, Mandingalbay Authentic Indigenous Tours welcomes you into the heart of Mandingalbay Yidinji Country, where the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef. Operated by the Mandingalbay Yidinji people, this immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to see, feel, and understand Country through the eyes of its Traditional Custodians.

On the Hands On Country Eco Tour, you’ll cruise and walk through Mandingalbay Yidinji Country as Creation stories, bush tucker, and traditional ecological knowledge are shared with warmth and wisdom. Along the way, you’ll discover native plants used for food and medicine and hear stories passed down through generations.

For a truly magical evening, join the Deadly After Dark – Sunset, Canapés and Culture tour, where you’ll dine on a bush-inspired tasting menu under the stars. The experience includes a Welcome to Country ceremony, a serene sunset cruise, and a touch of adventure with crocodile-spotting among the mangroves. Alternatively combine the Deadly After Dark Sunset Cruise with a dinner at the award-winning Ochre Restaurant.

Mandingalbay Authentic Indigenous Tours invites you on a powerful and personal journey into the natural beauty and living culture of Tropical North Queensland.
