HANDS ON COUNTRY ECO TOUR - Private Charter

The Mandingalbay Yidinji (MY) people
have lived in harmony with their environment for tens of thousands of years.
This tour allows you to immerse yourself in the world of the MY people, visiting places of significance and sourcing native food in the rainforest.
You will be welcomed with a traditional smoking and cleansing ceremony.

MY people will personally guide you, sharing ancient knowledge and
insights into Indigenous customs. Guests gain an understanding of the connection
between Country and Aboriginal culture. Incredibly, this authentic experience
of Indigenous life is a short 15 minute vessel transfer from the Cairns Reef
Fleet Terminal.

Imagine - gliding across Trinity Inlet past tethered yachts and wetlands
into the expanse of the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef region. In the
distance, rainforest clad mountains soar –

today’s destination. Turn up Hills Creek, where salty sea and mountain
freshwaters meet. Travel through East Trinity Reserve to Grey Peaks National
Park, arriving to a Welcome To Country

ceremony. Walk into the rainforest to discover edible flowers, sweet
fruit and native herbs, bush medicines, Aboriginal traditions, customs and
artefacts. Backed by a chorus of Australian tropical birdlife, and sometimes,
clouds of butterflies on the short trek to Grey Peaks National Park.

About- The MY People have held Native Title rights to their land since
2006, enabling them to carry out traditional activities and manage and protect
the country, including East Trinity

Environmental Reserve, the Murray Prior Range, the western slopes of the
Nisbet Range, across the Malbon Thompson Range to the Coral Sea and the
Frankland Islands.
