TJAPUKAI ABORIGINAL CULTURAL PARK

Tjapukai By Night is a Aboriginal Dance Show & Dinner and is great experience that will give you insight into Australia’s ancient indigenous culture! 

Feel the powerful spirit of Indigenous Australia vibrate through your body as you embark on a mysterious journey into the ancient Tjapukai culture by night. The Quinkan spirit comes to life and takes you through the story waters into the Dreamtime for an evening of entertainment celebrating the unique customs of the people of the rainforest.

The show starts promptly at 7.30pm every night of the week with transfers departing Cairns & Northern Beaches accommodation from 6.40pm.

Welcome
Meet the Tjapukai performers before the show and enjoy your choice of a welcome drink (standard beer, wine or soft drink) in the Retail Gallery where authentic Aboriginal art including didgeridoos and boomerangs can be purchased.

Magic Space Cultural Initiation
After your welcome drink, it is time for your journey into the world of the rainforest people. The Tjapukai performers will lead you into the Magic Space for an emotive didgeridoo blessing ceremony and the mystical Quinkan spirit performance. Your initiation continues with traditional face painting as the Tjapukai performers escort you to the lake.

Lakeside Ceremony
With clapsticks in hand you add to the pulsating rhythm of the corroboree while Tjapukai warriors use traditional fire sticks to create fire. Suddenly a spear is launched and a spectacular fire ball explodes into the night sky.

Four-course Buffet Dinner
Enjoy dining in the Boomerang Restaurant with an international buffet of hot and cold dishes plus delicious desserts freshly made by Tjapukai’s pastry chef.

Live Cultural Performance
Relax after dinner while the world famous Tjapukai dancers perform live on stage. Join the cultural celebrations and learn traditional dances from the people of the rainforest.

Camp Fire Session (Optional)
After the show catch up with the performers around the camp fire for an informal session where you can ask them questions.

There are photo opportunities with the Tjapukai dancers and free time to browse for quality gifts in the multi-award winning Tjapukai gallery before guests depart.
