Fabulous experience - This trip was wonderful!! Unfortunately the train was cancelled because of the rain, but the rest was great. The Butterfly Sanctuary was beautiful, the Duck boat was fun, the Pamagirri presentations were very special, and the Koala photo was a highlight for me. Then came the gondola ride! Stunning views and soooo high up. The whole day was a fabulous experience.

Worth the money. - We did this tour in place of a similar tour offered through our tour group. This one adds lunch and the aqua duck boats through the rainforest. Entire trip excellent.

Amazing experience a Must visit at Cairns - The Sky Rail was an outstanding experience. The Butterfly Conservatory was very informative and enjoyable. The cutest and adorable part of the day was holding a Kaola and petting kangaroos. Sadly due to un-foreseen circumstances, the train journey was cancelled.

Packed schedule but not overwhelming - Due to the tropical storm, the Scenic Railway was closed, so we opted for a bus return. Not quite as exciting, but everything else was great. The Skyrail was beautiful, and it was nice having the included admissions for the butterfly garden and Rainforestation. We also had time to take a picture with a koala, which was a highlight for us. Overall, it was a full day and seemed daunting with the schedule provided but we felt we had enough time for everything and got to do everything we wanted. Lunch was decent and the visit to Kuranda was okay. It was a bit rainy out, so we didn’t explore as much as we would have if it were drier out, but we got to see plenty still.

To rushed! - We did so much today. We needed more time at each place. You cannot do all this in one day and enjoy it. Need 2 days to see everything. The butterfly sanctuary was wonderful but again not enough time to enjoy it. The Aboriginal Dancers were excellent. Wildlife Park was good too. If you have very little time do this tour. Otherwise spread it over 2 days
