An exclusive and spectacular cultural journey from coast to Rainforest to experience natural beauty and ancient culture. Walk in the steps of the ancestors…

Cooya Beach (Kuyu Kuyu), the traditional fishing ground of the Kuku Yalanji people has three diverse ecosystems, beach, mangrove and coastal reef, connected by the ever-changing mudflats and tidal lagoons. On your 2 hour coastal and cultural walk, a member of the Kubirri Warra clan will introduce you to their traditional fishing and gathering techniques and any catch of crabs, mussels and fish is cooked up to share with homemade damper on Cooya Beach.

A delicious lunch infused with local flavours is served in the Mossman Gorge Centre at the edge of the rainforest. You will also have time to explore the gallery and its artworks from prominent and emerging local artists.

Wander along private walking tracks on the Aboriginal guided (Ngadiku) Dreamtime Walk. On this 1.5 hour walk, your experienced guide will demonstrate traditional plant use, identify bush food and traditions like making bush soaps and ochre paint. The walk meanders through stunning Rainforest and passes traditional huts or humpies while your guide provides an enchanting narrative of the Rainforest and the Kuku Yalanji’s special relationship with this unique environment.

Your day comes to a close with coach transfer back to Cairns, Trinity Beach, Palm Cove or Port Dougals.
