FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
For the discerning traveller luxury touring must extend its boundaries beyond plush surrounds and extraordinary service. This supreme tour encapsulates these high standards and includes some of our region’s true icons.

Arrive at the rainforest-shrouded Mossman Gorge where, under the canopy of the ancient rainforest, you will amble along rainforest walking tracks, past refreshing crystal clear waterholes and moss covered rocks to discover wild life aplenty. Keep an eye out for the Boyd’s rainforest dragon sunning itself on a mossy rock.

Continue on to Silky Oaks Lodge for a welcoming ceremony consisting of a traditional smoking ceremony and welcoming dance by descendants of the Kuku Yalanji tribe. A stunning setting by the Mossman River invites you in for a delectable gourmet lunch. Enjoy the surroundings as you dine on local cuisine and fine Australian wines, with the soft sounds of the didgeridoo playing in the background. There will also be cultural introductions, a traditional dance performance, a cultural artefacts talk and spear throwing demonstrations. An afternoon filled with magic and mystery as the aboriginal culture unfolds before you.
