Land Based Tours

Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural park

Tjapukai shares with their visitors all the aspects of Aboriginal culture, from the difficult history portrayed in the History Theater to the magic of the Dreamtime, brought dramatically to life in the Creation Theater. Dance and music are celebrated in the Tjapukai Dance Theater. Their guests can interact with members of the Aboriginal community in the Cultural Camp, where they learn how to throw spears and boomerangs, how to play a didgeridoo (the oldest wind instrument in the world), and how Aboriginal people survived without modern medicine. All together, the three main theatres and the camp experiences take about 2 1/2 hours. Tjapukai by Night is approaching it's third birthday and if you haven't heard now operates every single night of the week. A dining and theatre experience.

These can be half or full day tours. Or be coupled with the skyrail and scenic railway tours over the stunning tropical rainforests, leading to the market village of Kuranda.
