The day is organised for you, with hotel transfers, attraction tickets and meeting times arranged in advance. Your Army Duck experience includes live commentary, while Skyrail, the Scenic Railway and your time in Kuranda are mainly explored at your own pace. You get the convenience of a planned itinerary without having to follow a guide every minute of the day.

The standard itinerary allows around two hours in Kuranda Village across the day, arranged around your Rainforestation transfer and Army Duck departure. This gives you time to enjoy lunch and browse the markets, shops and galleries. If you would like to visit an additional attraction, choosing one priority will help you enjoy the village without rushing.

You can choose the lunch that best suits you during your time in Kuranda. Lunch is not included, with cafés, restaurants and market food available throughout the village. You can also dine at the Rainforestation restaurant at your own expense when the day’s schedule allows.

The Army Duck is a relaxed 45-minute guided journey through the rainforest on both land and water. Your captain brings the forest to life with entertaining commentary about tropical plants and wildlife before the vehicle splashes into the lake. Keep watch for turtles, fish, eels, water dragons and rainforest birds along the way.

Yes. The combination of a cable car, scenic train, village time and the Army Duck gives children plenty of variety without requiring a long bushwalk. Families travelling with toddlers have also enjoyed the experience. As it is a full-day tour, bringing snacks and a few familiar comforts can make the longer train journey more relaxing for younger children.

Yes. A small collapsible stroller is the easiest option for this tour. Skyrail can carry prams and strollers, while storage aboard the Scenic Railway is limited and a folded stroller should fit beneath the seat, with a maximum folded height of 25 centimetres. Large bags and full-size luggage are not suitable for this itinerary.

Yes. Rain often gives the rainforest a beautiful misty atmosphere, and the tour generally continues in wet weather. Skyrail gondolas are enclosed, umbrellas are available at Red Peak and Barron Falls, and the Army Duck is designed for rainforest conditions. The order of the day may be adjusted if weather affects any individual service.
