Daintree Dreaming Aboriginal Art & Culture – Private Tour
An intimate cultural journey guided by story, art and Country
This unique private tour offers an intimate insight into the world’s oldest living culture, revealing Aboriginal heritage, Dreamtime stories, and artistic expression through meaningful, personal encounters.
Your personal driver-guide will meet you at your accommodation and escort you in a private luxury vehicle to begin your day of discovery, travelling north along the iconic Great Barrier Reef Drive to the village of Mossman.
At Janbal Gallery, you’ll enjoy a private Aboriginal art class with renowned local artist Brian ‘Binna’ Swindley, learning traditional stories, symbols, and painting techniques as you create your own canvas artwork to take home — a deeply personal cultural keepsake.
Following your art experience, enjoy a delicious lunch in Mossman before continuing your journey into the ancient rainforest of Mossman Gorge.
Here, you’ll join an Indigenous guide for the Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk, with exclusive access to Kuku Yalanji land. The experience begins with a traditional Welcome to Country smoking ceremony, offering a powerful cultural introduction before exploring the rainforest along elevated boardwalks and forest paths. Learn about the deep spiritual connection between the Kuku Yalanji people and the land, their traditional use of plants, bush foods, and sustainable living practices passed down through thousands of generations.
Your experience is beautifully concluded with bush tea and damper, before returning to your accommodation in comfort aboard your private vehicle.
