Tjapukai is located at Caravonica, near Smithfield, 15 minutes north of Cairns along the Captain Cook Highway. It is both a magnificent attraction and a milestone accomplishment - a privately owned business with the majority shareholding forever in the hands of the tribal councils themselves.

The 25 acre park combines the latest in theatre and technology, interactive activities with Aboriginal people, and features authentic traditional culture and customs.

• The Tjapukai Camp Cultural Village has interactive demonstrations of boomerangs, didgeridoos and bush foods.
• Holographic images and live actors combine in the Creation Theatre to tell the wondrous legends of the Storywaters.
• Dance and music comes alive in the Tjapukai Dance Theatre.
• The History Theatre provides an audiovisual presentation of recent and past Aboriginal history and culture.
• Between the theatres Tjapukai has created the Magic Space, a museum gallery of modern and ancient artworks.

Tjapukai's signature Boomerang Restaurant offers a sumptuous buffet lunch daily which includes a range of fish and meat dishes, healthy salads, homemade soups and breads accented with condiments, chutneys, dressings and salsas influenced by indigenous ingredients such as mountain pepper, lilli pilli, quandongs and other bush foods.

Opening times and show times have been tailored to the needs of the visitor, and day tours and packages are also available.

Tjapukai By Night

Tjapukai By Night is a powerful and personal experience that is winning hearts and minds! Gadja and Quinkan spirits introduce the Dreamtime, where guests are taken to become an interactive part of an ancient corroboree ritual, climaxing in the ceremonial making of a fire.
