Your evening in the rainforest begins with a walk along a flame-lit trail beneath the forest canopy to a secluded clearing, where you'll be welcomed with sparkling wine and hors d'oeuvres. You’ll then be introduced to the vibrant Aboriginal culture that stretches back more than 40 thousand years.

Then it's time to relax under a marquee canopy lit by hundreds of candles, accompanied by the sound of a mountain river trickling past, while you dine on a three-course tropical banquet accompanied by Australian wines and beer. The evening unfolds with ancient tales told by firelight from the Aboriginal Dreamtime. After dessert, enjoy local Daintree tea and Tablelands coffee, explore the river surrounds or simply sit back and let the sound of the rainforest tell its own story.

Before the evening comes to a close, make sure you sign the Book of Trees so that a tree is planted on your behalf. By enjoying the Flames of the Forest, you will have contributed to preserving local habitats, helping to ensure that these soul-nurturing rainforests will last another million years!

The Environment:
Flames of the Forest together with Landcare Australia have pioneered this unique Australian dining experience set amid the world's most ancient rainforest in Tropical North Queensland. By attending a Flames of the Forest dinner, you have become part of a unique tree-planting and Cassowary protection program to help support the work of the Daintree Cassowary Care Group based in Cape Tribulation.
