  • Awesome one of the best day trips I have been on.

    Absolutely Awesome, Chris our guide was amazing. On time pickup and a wonderful host, this was my first time travelling solo to Port Douglas I have been there 9 times before with family. I was made to feel welcome by Chris and the other travelers, a group of 15 who were celebrating a special 70th Birthday. Chris' happy vibe and knowledge of the Port Douglas and surrounding areas made the trip exciting. Not once did I feel left out, Chris was very mindful that I was travelling solo and made me feel very at ease. I only did the Kuranda Markets and Butterfly Sanctuary as my day trip but was happy to go along for the ride to the station and skyrail enjoying a coffee while Chris organized the rest of the group and got them on their way. After spending the day in Kuranda Chris then drove us to Palm Cove for an afternoon cocktail, little did I know the best was yet to come, a sing a long on the way home. To be sitting on a bus with a bunch of people who started out as strangers but by the end of the day were friends singing at the top of our lungs was truly a highlight of my holiday that I will remember always. I have travelled the world and been on many day trips but this one will hold a special place in my heart. I would highly recommend if you are travelling solo or with a group book this tour you wont be sorry.

    This was a fantastic excursion with Brett! We added a tour of Hartley’s crocodile farm to the start of our day. It was awesome seeing the crocs, wombats, wallabies and koalas. Next we took the sky rail over the rainforest to the kuranda village. Be sure you make time to see the beautiful birds at Bird World in the village! From there we were taken to the scenic train. You will love the beautiful views and waterfalls along the way back. Last stop was to enjoy a cocktail overlooking the beach at Palm Cove. Brett is awesome! Very fun and knowledgeable! I highly recommend this budget Kuranda tour with all the add ons!!

  • Skyrail is a Must Do

    The Skyrail was amazing. The view down into to rain forest was spectacular and Barron falls was a sight. Brett had lots of great information. The train ride was OK. Not having a direct window seat made it harder to take pictures. The ride was OK and interesting but I wasn't able to capture the pics I wanted not bei ng right at the window. The time at Kuranda Village was too short to see enough of it. Didn't expect to see it all but 1.45 hours definately not enough to eat, see the butterfly garden and do any shopping. It is also alot bigger than the "little aboriginal" shopping village you might think it is. Definitely worth doing, but give yourself more time if you can.
