Ablaze with light: Flames of the Forest is a unique way to illuminate your event.

Flames of the Forest is a unique way to experience the rainforest and aboriginal culture in the Cairns region.

Located on an isolated piece of property near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Flames of the Forest combines dining, aboriginal performance and a lighting extravaganza to introduce visitors to the delights of the rainforest.  

Thousands of candles, spectacular strategic lighting of thousand year old trees and a touch of glamour under an open-air free-standing marquee with hand-made crystal chandeliers sees guests enjoying a seemingly endless array of local delicacies and wine.  

The entertainment is provided by brothers Gary and Robert Creek from the local Kuku Yalanji tribe based in the Mossman Gorge area.

The brothers perform a number of traditional songs and stories about the animals and plants of the region.  

Visitors are bussed in from Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas, wined and dined, entertained and returned home full of spectacular sights, sounds and food.  

Flames of the Forest operates from 7.30pm to 10.30pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and is closed during the wet season.

It is best to book in advance. For more information call +61 7 4099 3144 or email book@flamesoftheforest.com.au
