Flames of the Forest has to be felt … Flames of the Forest transports you into a word beyond your imagination so relaxing and uplifting for your soul you will never want to leave. A completely intimate, natural experience beneath the canopy of the world’s oldest rainforest, you will be enchanted by an evening of Aboriginal culture and superb Australian wine and cuisine.

• Return transfers from all Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas hotels
• Flaming arrival and candle lit forest
• Pre dinner drinks with canapés and sparkling wine
• Six course plattered banquet dinner served to your table seated under magnificent black silk and velvet lined marquee highlighted by sparkling crystal and bud light chandeliers
• Australian sparkling wine, red and white wine, beer and soft drinks
• Shared tables of ten so you can meet other intrepid travelers

Turning off the highway onto a winding dirt road is where your evening begins.  Halted by a flaming trench across the road, step off the coach and walk the flame lit path into a secluded glade where you will be greeted with sparkling wine and canapés.  Surrounded by hundreds of candles, you will be beckoned by your Aboriginal host to follow him across the creek to enjoy your dinner banquet.   The rainforest setting is the natural, authentic backdrop for this spiritual and mystical culture, a performance unique to Flames of the Forest, where you will learn about their timeless oral traditions in an intimate and personal setting.  Enjoy a tropical six course banquet served to your table complemented by Australian wines and beer, then sit back and relax, allowing the sounds of the rainforest to tell its own stories.
