A must do experience in Cairns! - We loved the sunset cruise with Mandingalbay Authentic Indigenous Tours! Thanks to Captain Dale and the team of tour guides, we have learned so much about local aborigines customs, traditions and the essential (and many) roles that mangroves are playing in this area. The sunset from the water was amazing and accessing an indigenous territory was a real privilege. We will recommend this tour to everyone looking for an intimate and authentic experience, we felt super welcomed and we had some good banters too. We will be back to renew our experience with them.

A Profound and Peaceful Cultural Experience - I would not hesitate to do this tour again either with family & friends visiting Cairns or again with my husband & work colleagues This tour was far more than just a scenic sunset cruise—it was a deeply moving cultural journey. From the moment we stepped aboard, the Mandingalbay team welcomed us with warmth and authenticity. The stories shared about Country, culture, and connection were powerful and respectfully delivered, offering insights that you simply won’t find anywhere else.. Its an amazing experience...Keep up the great work guys!!

Mandingalbay night experience - It was a great experience. Only wish I'd that it would have lasted longer! Highly recommend. It was so cool to learn and be out in the water at night. Would love to do the other experiences offered some day.

Deadliest Indigenous Tour - What an awesome experience, very hands on, awesome cultural information great to see up and coming leaders leading the way. Yidindji is the best, l recommend this tour to everyone that want to experience the oldest living culture in the world, good on Manigalbay Yidindji leading the way.

Love of country - Our guides were great. Sharing their love of country and culture. We cruised into the indigenous protected area. And were welcomed with smoking ceremony and stories of their grandfathers. Hunting artefacts and yummy finger food. Even saw a green tree frog. Wonderful.
