Embark on a full-day adventure through the Kuranda Rainforest, combining breathtaking scenery, wildlife encounters, and Aboriginal culture. Begin your journey on the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway, winding through lush mountains and waterfalls on your way to the rainforest village of Kuranda.
Your first stop is the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, the largest in the country, home to over 1,500 tropical butterflies including the dazzling Cairns Birdwing. Continue to Rainforestation Nature Park, where a delicious barbecue buffet lunch awaits. After lunch, board a World War II Army Duck amphibious vehicle to explore the rainforest by both land and water, spotting wildlife and learning about native plants. At the Tropical Treats orchard, sample exotic fruits and homemade ice cream.
The Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience brings culture to life with spear throwing, didgeridoo demonstrations, and traditional dance performances. You’ll also meet iconic Australian animals at the Koala & Wildlife Park — from koalas and wombats to cassowaries and kangaroos, which you can even hand-feed.
Conclude your day with a ride on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, gliding above the treetops before returning to Cairns with hotel transfers included.
Itineraries may operate in reverse or in a different sequence.
Genuinely had the most amazing day, it was seamlessly organised. Yes it was a busy day but for me this was a wonderful and incredibly enjoyable way to see the heart of Kuranda. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cairns. It’s a must do!
An unforgettable day in Kuranda! The Scenic Railway offers breathtaking views and a charming ride through lush rainforest, while the Skyrail glides you above the canopy with stunning panoramas. Perfectly organized, spectacular scenery absolutely recommended!
So much fit into the day, but still enough time at each destination. Such a perfect way to see Kuranda and good value for money.
I enjoyed everything: the ride on train from the station of Freshwater with many viewpoints, the butterfly sanctuary, the BBQ lunch, the visit to the different enclosures with koala, wallabies and other animals, the Aborigenal show (splendid), the ride on duck and, last but not the least, the sky rail.
The day was fabulous our guide AJ was amazing and very knowledgeable, my only criticism is the vehicle if you sit on the back seats you get very rocked about and it’s really uncomfortable and painful in your back
We were able to see a lot in one day. The activity included all of the highlights and activities in the area. We were given a schedule for each of our planned activities, and it was up to us to make sure we were at each activity at the scheduled time. We esp. liked the train and tram.
The sky ride was a real surprise, an absolute breathtaking journey over the Kuranda Rainforest.
