Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are a stand out, and their lifestyles are largely reflective of the land on which they live. Whether it's within a rainforest, ocean or dormant volcano, an immersive guided walk brings together natural beauty and ancient cultural knowledge.

The Daintree Rainforest, about two hours north of Cairns, is – in a word – breathtaking. This World Heritage-listed site is home to the Kuku Yalanji people, known as the true rainforest people.
To the Kuku Yalanji people, the rainforest is more than trees and vines; contained within its canopy are traditional medicines, delicious native foods and sacred stories.

Aboriginal rock art is one of the oldest forms of art in the world, so witnessing these ancient depictions is like looking straight into another time.
