Black Seahorse

The Black Seahorse is more than just a gift shop; we are a collective of creative indigenous artists who want to showcase our art and products designed to present our stories and connection to seacountry. Our beautiful Wunyami (the tribal name for Green Island), is a culturally significant site for the Gungandji and Yidinji tribes. Wunyami is covered in 6000-year-old rainforest on an ancient coral cay and surrounded by protected coral and seagrass beds.

The Arts Collective

Authentic indigenous Art that's created by members of the great Barrier Reef Saltwater people. Art that tells a story, provides a blessing, and supports the indigenous economy.

Indigenous Owned
& Operated

We are entirely indigenous-owned and operated, and all our products and artworks were crafted by the indigenous community who call Green Island, Wunyami, their sacred ceremony place. Our tours will consist of a cultural experience where our team will shed light on the inner working of our ceremonies, stories and dance. We strive to ensure all our supply chain is supporting the indigenous economy. Additionally, all our indigenous staff are trained and culturally inducted by the Elders. We believe in helping our community with employment and allowing them to convey their thoughts, beliefs, and experiences to you, our valued clients.

Our Cultural Tours

The Gimuy Green Island Cultural Tour represents a significant milestone in indigenous tourism. Green Island has been the steppingstone for Great Barrier Reef experiences for both domestic and international tourists for many years. But now, we have an exclusive indigenous tour that is operated by members of our local indigenous community. We can now share the long story connection of the GuruGulu Gungganji (Yarrabah) and Gimuy Yidinji (Cairns) people through stories and cultural learnings right here on Green Island.
