The most incredible day. The tour was well organised, structured and managed from the off. Staff were so friendly. Materials provided were excellent. The train and skyrail were breath taking. The wildlife park is a must see. It’s a must book for a trip to cairns.
Some gems but a lot of Rubbish

This tour I found was alright, The scenic railway was good however you do not get to pick your seats on the train which wasn't fair as we was placed in the middle so was unable to see sites out the window due to people in the way, Had to get up and go between cars which I found annoying, I would properly skip the butterfly attraction as this is underwhelming and ment to be guided. When In the wildlife park they do not include the koala picture which you have to break itinerary to do, They also dont tell you that there is limited places for this too. I think this would be better to include this on the tour, The aquaducks were abit meh too as we thought this would be in wild waters but wasn't just in a dam water. Skyrail we were unable to do as the weather turned however was refunded this part but we had to contact them for this. I felt this tour could of been better, However I did enjoy some of it like the aboriginal experience, If it wasn't for this I'd of gave it a 2 star.
Great experience - highly recommend

Great day out and well worth the money. The whole day was amazingly organised and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. From the train arr the beginning, to Kuranda village (could of done with longer here), the butterfly sanctuary then onto the raiinforestation - which was the best! Wildlife park, great lunch bbq, aboriginal experience - almost caught the boomerang too, the duck boat and then the sky rail down. Both myself and my partner lived the whole day. The coach driver was really lovely too, told us numerous tales and facts about Cairns.
Great experience, lots of...

Best snorkeling I have ever done . The snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef was spectacular. We snorkeled in 3 areas of the reef. The marine biologist on board gave a very interesting presentation. Lunch & snacks were yummy. I would highly recommend this tour.
A fantastic day!

Full day consisting of different activities. The train ride is very nice and not too long (90 min) and the visit to Kuranda is friendly (including the butterfly sanctuary). Then all the activities in Rainforeststation are interesting (including the amphibian vehicle). The Skyrail completes the day perfectly. Just a WOW!

The skyrail up to Kuranda is a great experience and provides amazing views. Barron Falls were majestic. The markets had some great shops, lovely art and clothing. It was a hot day which is to be expected in January. It did make the trip down on the scenic railway a little challenging, there was little air flow. So be prepared for this if travelling in the summer.
