Wonderful "hands-on" experience! - Must see! This was the final experience of our Australian trip and it was so worth it! You can actually interact with the kangaroos and get your photo with koalas. The indigenous experience was, again, very hands on. "Running water" was our favorite. He is very intelligent and committed to preserving his culture. My son and I enjoyed our conversation with him. We will definitely visit again when we are in Cairns. 🤩

Super Interesting and fun experience. - Weren't able to do the aboriginal experience due to factors out of the park's control, but the rest of the experience was so cool and fun. The wildlife park was super informative and the animals were so cool. The army duck tour was also really fun, and the tour guide was super knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. The park's reps were also super helpful and gave us free shuttle bus tickets to and from kuranda to make up for the cancelled aboriginal experience which ended up being great value. Keen to return in the future to experience again with the aboriginal experience.

Well worth the trip, 5 Stars 4 U - We have been to Kuranda Nature Park Twice, the first time we found it by accident, the second time it was an intentional visit, each time we went it was a full day experience, we had our pictures taken with the Koala bears each time, such a wonderful experience to be able to hold them in your arms. 100% recommended to everybody, a lifetime thrill. recommended for little kids and a Special treat for the Big Kids.

Great value - 3 experiences in 1 all for $52 - Great value experience consisting of a wildlife park ticket, an indigenous experience and a ride in an authentic army duck through the rainforest and in a jungle lagoon. The wildlife park featured crocodiles, koalas, wombats, and lots of kangaroos and wallabies wandering around the park. We saw an indigenous dancer presentation, had a crack and throwing a boomerang (and they come back!) and watched spear throwing using a Woomera. A great value experience for the whole family. Took about 3 hours from start to finish - worth a visit

Wonderful mix of experiences - What a great half-day adventure! This combine four interesting visits into a smooth-flowing morning. The gall who walked us through the animal displays was knowledgeable and passionate. The men who demonstrated spear throwing, didgeridoo playing, and native dancing were amazing. The instructions given for boomerang throwing were positive and fun. The whole morning was super!

Fantastic experience. Would definitely go again - We had so much fun! Feeding kangaroos and petting the kuala (an extra $15) was the highlight of our experience. The staff was friendly and the duck ride was a lot of fun too.

" Great day to see and feed the wallabies" - My daughter enjoyed feeding and touching the animals in the park. The staffs are very knowledgeable about the animals as wells as the different type trees in rainforest. The butterfly world is also amazing.

Not the best day - Okay, so this was our least favorite day of our whole Australia trip. Maybe it was just an off day, but this Nature Park was not enjoyable. The employees were not friendly, not even Mark, our guide teaching us how to throw boomerangs. All of the employees seemed like they were just forced to be there and hated their jobs. The animals were awesome, but all animals are. The duck boat ride was just okay. I expected to see animals and there were absolutely none. Just a ride through a tourist attraction. There weren't many people in the park, so maybe that's why no one cared that day. Definitely regret going

Frustrated and disappointed experience! - I am writing to you about the terrible experience in Kuranda Rainforest Nature Park #622340, so I explain the reason to request the refund of the payment. 1 . The time was too short and I had to move rushing without enjoy that beautiful place. 2. At the Rainforest Nature Park I presented the ticket at redemption point, the lady asked me about the price, I showed the transaction ($314although she wrote $312) she took her time to decide what she had to do. Then she said that the activity at 1:00 was fully book an she added that we could come back other day to do it! Then she took one ticket off the four activities. 3. We waited for to do Army Duck, when we realised that at 1:45 we had to be at the terminal Kuranda skyrail, so we asked a lady in the office about it, she called there, they told her that we had to got back to the terminal or we lost the tickets. Fortunately a bus arrived, then we took the Skyrail. We did not enjoyed and relax We felt l really frustrated and disappointed with the Rainforest Nature Park experience in Kuranda. For this reason I would like you take into account my request to refund . I appreciate you attention. don't hesitate if you have more information about it by e mail , please [email protected] or [email protected] kind regards Yeid Rivera
