Flames of the Forest Aboriginal Cultural Experience

A Flames of the Forest vehicle will pick you up from your hotel to commence an evening Aboriginal Cultural Experience. Just ten minutes from Port Douglas, Flames of the Forest is a world away from the everyday.

Showcasing a unique, tropics-inspired menu accompanied by a selection of quality beverages and set amidst the candle-lit rainforest under a black silk canopy with sparkling chandeliers, Flames of the Forest offers you a distinctly different dining experience entwined with Indigenous culture.

The Aboriginal Cultural Experience introduces two local Aboriginal brothers sharing their remarkable culture with you throughout the evening. Their performance, unique to Flames of the Forest and staged within the natural, authentic backdrop of this spiritual culture, features traditional storytelling, didgeridoo and incredible song.

Your tour concludes at approximately 10:30pm, at which time hotel drop-offs will commence
