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: Skyrail Rainforest Cableway Round-Trip Experience
Guest User2025-06-18
We had a great experience on The Skyrail on 17th June, travelling up and back to Kuranda. Staff were professional, friendly & knowledgeable. The views were amazingly spectacular over the rainforest and the Barron River & Falls. 2 stops along the way at Red Peak and then Barron Falls which enabled us to get out and follow the decking & read the info and enjoy the view & take photos. Couldn’t have been better. A great experience. Having done the train and Skyrail over the years, my suggestion is to go up on The Skyrail and come back on the train.★

Reviews: Kuranda Rainforestation & Kuranda Scenic Rail (R1BT)
Guest User2024-10-06
I went with the hope of my daughter who wanted to hold a koala. There are fewer places to hold in Australia. The koala that came out was in a good pose while being held, so I was talking to my family, "professional". The boomerang was strange, and when I threw it myself, I came back splendidly and applauded. The person who dances 々 was seriously dancing after the dance. Thank you. Amphibious cars are interesting. I have felt the signs of nature, such as a relaxing crocodile, a bird in the bath, and a plant that hurts for a month when I touch it. I went by rental car, so I was able to relax without worrying about the time. Of course, you can buy tickets locally, so it's a good idea to enjoy it on your favorite course.★

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-14
Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour! ★

Reviews: Cairns: Ocean Spirit Great Barrier Reef Full Day Tour
Guest User2026-01-15
We had a wonderful snorkeling day overall. The reef was beautiful, the boat was comfortable, and most of the crew were friendly and professional. The equipment, food, and the general organisation of the trip were very good, and we truly enjoyed being out on the water. That’s why this situation was especially disappointing — because it could have been handled so easily with a little care, flexibility, and hospitality. We missed the submarine ticket pick-up at 10am — yes, that part was our mistake. We accept that. But hospitality is not about punishing guests for small mistakes. It is about helping people enjoy the experience they paid for. With 86 passengers onboard, the number of submarine seats should already be known and managed. A simple headcount, a radio call, or a quick announcement asking which guests had not yet collected their tickets would have solved the problem in minutes. This is basic service management. Even better, tickets should simply be handed out during the main p★

Logistics are well planned and easy to understand. The guide was informative and funny. Best option if you do not want to get wet.
