Reviews: Grand Kuranda including Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Railway
Guest User2024-07-22
Me and my family took an army duck tour last sunday and we had a really good time. We would like to compliment your new guide Mark. He had really good and interesting comments about nature and wildlife that made the tour fun and enjoyable. We also loved other activities in Kuranda, like the Pamagirri Aboriginal experience. We learned how to throw a boomerang and we enjoyed the presentation of Aboriginal coulture. The scenic Railway had some really good views and the train to Cairns was most enjoyable. Sending love from Slovenia.★

Reviews: N. Queensland: Kuranda Rainforest Full-Day Tour
Guest User2026-01-04
We thoroughly enjoyed the train journey and the amphibious vehicle excursion. The Aboriginal program was also worth seeing. Lunch was a (well-organized) mass catering event, where everyone was satisfied, but the atmosphere wasn't very pleasant. Overall, an interesting and recommendable day in the Kuranda rainforest.★

Reviews: Kuranda: Australian Butterfly Sanctuary
Guest User2025-12-08
We were visiting from Melbourne. After arriving at Kuranda, we were looking forward to our pre booked Butterfly Sanctuary visit. Nicole, the live in tour guide, was enthusiastic, interesting, and welcoming. Highly recommend you book and attend a tour with Nicole.★

Reviews: Kuranda Skyrail and Scenic Rail including Artillery Museum
Guest User2025-09-28
I had a great time on this tour. The bus picked me up promptly and everything throughout the day was perfectly timed so you didn't have to rush even though it was a full day of activities. This is a self-guided tour though. Keep that in mind. The only negative is probably the seating on the train. Really tight fit and there are only views from one side of the carriage.
