Description

When you experience Indigenous culture in Tropical North Queensland you immediately open a gateway to the unique and authentic cultures of the Rainforest Aboriginal People. Ingan Tours is an Australian company that is 100 per cent Aboriginal owned by the Grant family in Tully, North Queensland. They are situated 2.5 hours south of Cairns and 45 minutes south of Mission Beach.

For thousands of years their Ancestors have walked through the rainforest across mountainous regions, creeks and rivers via Aboriginal trading routes to hunt and gather together for ceremonial rituals and marriages with neighbouring tribal communities. Their tours and educational programs provide insight into this unique lifestyle and demonstrate how life was for these people before contact from the outside world.

A range of quality products are on offer, from hiking, weaving, bush tucker, string making, and mountainous trekking to student educational tours which journey you through some of the best World Heritage Rainforest in the world.

Walk in the footsteps of their Ancestors and let us inspire you by viewing the world through their eyes.

Spirit of the Rainforest Tour

For thousands of years their Ancestors have walked through the rainforest across mountainous regions, creeks and rivers via Aboriginal trading routes.

These trading routes are an essential resource that sustained life for their people. In Far North Queensland alone, early explorers recorded and confirmed these trading routes through their research and expedition work.

Ingan's -Spirit of the Rainforest Tour takes you deep into the mountainous region of the Tully Valley. As an important visitor to this country you will see the landscape and the rainforest environment through their eyes. Learn their stories, listen to their ancestors speak to them through a very special bird and understand their way of life.

Ingan River Walk

Embark on a journey, to a time before their Ancestors had contact from the outside world. Experience how life existed on the creek banks of the beautiful Davidson Creek for their people - the Jirrbal people.

This tour will have you walking upstream in knee high water of the Davidson Creek. Whilst you listen to your guide your mind begins to open and understand what the traditional inhabitants know intimately about their environment. You will sense a spiritual connection to the Davidson Creek as you float back down the river on inflatable tyre tubes.

This tour provides an option of two interactive cultural activities (string making or weaving) whilst sitting under the shade of the trees in the campsite alongside the beautiful guda waterhole.
