Dreamtime walk through Mossman Rainforest with Levi.
Had an awesome walk with indigenous guide Levi. He was the most knowledgeable and friendly guide. He shared so many stories and taught us so much about the rainforest. The walk then finished with some fresher made damper and tea. Was a brilliant afternoon.

What an amazing experience for our family to be guided by Skip from the local tribe of the rainforest
What an amazing experience for our family to be guided by Skip from the local tribe of the rainforest. The smoking ceremony set the scene for a great walk through the rainforest. Skip had so much knowledge about the plants and wildlife, my son did not leave his side. The damper and tea at the end was a nice treat. Mossman Gorge was amazing too! Well worth a visit.
