Learn more about the Giants of MAndurah

The GIANTS OF MANDURAH is a unique outdoor exhibition featuring larger-than-life sculptures created from recycled wood. The world’s leading recycle artist, Thomas Dambo places his ‘giants’ all over the world to celebrate the extraordinary beauty of locations, while highlighting the importance of protecting our natural world.

Join one of our local marine biologists to journey into vast waterways and wetlands on the lands of the Bindjareb Noongar people. Cruise through Mandurah’s water wilderness, visiting one of the most famous Giants, ‘Seba’s Song’. This Giant faces away from land, contemplating the waters ~ the only Giant to do so. He can only be sighted in full by boat.

Mandurah hosts 5 of these incredible sculptures at secret locations. The GIANTS OF MANDURAH is like a game, whereby visitors need to find 4 Giants to unlock the location of the 5th, secret Giant.

Let us help you find the 4th Giant on a journey through breathtaking scenery and incredible waterways, spotting wild dolphins and birdlife along the way ~ these are the very reasons Mandurah was selected as the location for this world-famous exhibition.

We had such an awesome dolphin cruise today around the canals. Saw plenty of dolphins, had fish and chips for lunch – so delicious. The crew were very professional and friendly. I came with my daughter and granddaughters and we all totally loved it! Thank you! LINDA JANE, FACEBOOK REVIEW
