East Trinity is located directly opposite Cairns CBD and is part of the Wet Tropics area, which can experience high rainfall during the summer months. Our vessel is covered, as is our transfer vehicle. However we do walk on a trail through the rainforest, which does offer some cover, but a rain jacket, umbrella or poncho is advised if you think it might rain.

Days of extreme weather may result in the cancellation of tour, in which case you will be contacted by our reservations team, and given the choice of rescheduling your tour to another date, or a full refund.

We can accommodate people who have mobility challenges, however it would be essential that we speak with the person or their carer prior to the day of travel so that we can understand their needs and ensure that we can deliver our tour for them.

Cancellations happened from time to time for a number of reasons. An example would be due to high rainfall combined with gale-force winds. In the event that we must cancel the tour, we will contact you as soon as possible to reschedule or offer a full refund.

On our 3 hour Eco-Cultural Tour, we provide a simple but fresh morning or afternoon tea which generally includes a fruit platter, together with a baked option. There is no meat served on this tour but any special dietary requirement should be entered at the time of booking &ndash; particular with all group and private charter booking.

Take a 3-hour journey back in time via&nbsp;riverboat to discover a cultural landscape through the eyes of the Mandingalbay Yidinji people, the traditional owners of the country that lies just across the inlet from Cairns City. The Mandingalbay Yidinji people have lived in harmony with their environment for tens of thousands of years, and this tour&nbsp;allows you to immerse yourself in their way of life, visiting places of cultural significance and sourcing native food in the rainforest.

&nbsp;

Join your local guide&nbsp;as you cruise across Trinity Inlet and along the peaceful&nbsp;Hills Creek, as you head deeper into the expanse of the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef region. Take in the beautiful mangrove-ridden wetlands before being welcomed by the&nbsp;Mandingalbay Yidinji&nbsp;people with a traditional smoking and cleansing ceremony.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;After a short bus ride, walk the Mayi Bugan Rainforest Trail with Indigenous guides to discover native foods and bush medicines, ancient Aboriginal traditions, customs, and artefacts. Learn some&nbsp;ancient secrets and&nbsp;gain an&nbsp;understanding of the connection&nbsp;between Country and Aboriginal culture.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Enjoy light refreshments of delicious coconut damper, tea and fresh fruit,&nbsp;surrounded by the sounds of nature before returning to the Marina. You won&#39;t believe this unforgettable authentic experience could be just a short boat ride from Cairns.

I work at Yarrabah and found it the most informative 3 hours starting with the the ride across the inlet to Hills Creek and then the drive through the mangroves to Djanbunji. The most helpful, informative and friendly staff
Amazing to now see what is just off the road.
