Flames of the Forest

Free admission

Australia’s only rain forest dining experience invites travelers for an evening of food and entertainment under the stars in one of the world’s oldest rain forests. The multi-course meal, highlighting ingredients from the rain forest, is served by candlelight to the sounds of live acoustic guitar or Aboriginal music and storytelling.

The Basics

Guests of the Flames of the Forest Cultural Experience have two different experiences to choose from. The Aboriginal Cultural Experience celebrates the culture of the Kuku Yalanji people through storytelling, didgeridoo, and song, while the Rainforest Dining Experience is a more low-key, romantic event with live acoustic guitar music. Both include a multi-course plated dinner served alongside Australian wine and beer.
