Gorgeous - Incredible experience, great guides, sublime places…
We loved our day in the forest. The meeting with the animals, the train to get to the top, the introduction to Aboriginal dances and music and the sublime end in the cable car!

Fun from Train to Rainforest - The trip was great from start to finish. Train ride was awesome, enjoyed the butterfly sanctuary, the rainforestation was fun and the gondola ride was awesome gliding over the rain forest. Didn't do very well throwing the boomerang, maybe next time.
Drivers and guides were extremely helpful. Tour was well organized!

Lovely relaxing day - Seeing a cassowary wander past us. So many highlights to the day. From the slow train trip up and stopping to see the amazing Falls, to the aboriginal demonstrations. My children have been practising the dance manoeuvre

Great day in Kuranda - Great trip.
Stunning scenery and loved the railway. The onboard staff made sure everyone got good seats next to the windows for the best views. The waterfalls are amazing.
The Butterfly sanctuary was magical and would recommend listening to one of their guided tours; really interesting.
Rainforestation exceeded my expectations.
Our guide on the army duck boat was very entertaining but also knowledgeable, pointing out lots including a red bellied black snake and huge golden orb spiders.
Also particularly enjoyed the Pamagirri demonstration especially having a go at boomerang throwing.
Cable car descent also very special.
Great day and thanks to our drivers Steve and Ben who made the day very easy.

A view of a lifetime. - Really enjoyed most of our outing. The train ride up was very scenic. Loved the waterfall. Once there in Kuranda , we did a quick walkabout of the butterfly sanctuary. Interesting . The buffet was okay... nothing memorable. The ride on the duck boat was fun. Our driver was entertaining and had lots of interesting facts to share about the flora and fauna. We did get to try to throw a boomerang. As well, we learned a bit about traditional methods of hunting . The skyride over the rainforest provided excellent vistas.

The first stop after... - The first stop after train ride was very confusing. The driver gave us so much info, that we could not process. A simple handout during train ride with tour details would have been very helpful.
