About this experience
The GIANTS OF MANDURAH is a unique outdoor exhibition featuring larger-than-life sculptures made from recycled wood. Created by world-leading recycle artist Thomas Dambo, these giants celebrate each location’s natural beauty and highlight the need to protect our environment.
Join us as we explore the waterways and wetlands on Bindjareb Noongar Country, cruising through Mandurah’s water wilderness to visit Seba’s Song. This Giant faces away from land, contemplating the water—the only one positioned this way—and can only be viewed fully by boat.
Mandurah hosts five Giants in secret locations. Let us help you find the fourth Giant on a journey through stunning scenery and waterways, spotting dolphins and birdlife—the very reasons Mandurah was chosen for this exhibition.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Guests must move independently and safely around the vessel, including boarding, small steps, a ladder-style staircase, and a narrow walkway to bow. Guests must be able to stay upright on moving water.
