Travelled 1700km to go on the Kuranda rail and it got closed the morning we were supposed to catch it up the Mountain. Although the guide improvised to make the day enjoyable. Very disappointed with not being able to ride the train.

From the moment Steve introduced himself, untill the final drop off, the professionalism of both drivers was outstanding and a credit to your company.The impressive nature of the transport and scenery was equally memorable.

The train journey to Kuranda was amazing! The views were stunning, we received a map showing the route & all the place of interest. The village of Kuranda was really nice as was the butterfly sanctuary. The BBQ lunch was great & then the transfer to the rainforest village where we took a tour on an army duck which was also excellent! The only negative was the cancellation of the Skyrail part of the trip due to weather issues, which of course is no ones fault!
Magnificent day

I travelled alone and had a lovely time, easy to find, easy to get to, easy boarding, slow journey through rainforest, great village to visit and very scenic cable car ride back. Highly recommend
Kuranda access and agenda set with tons of free time and flexibility!

The team provides the template, transportation and timeline then largely gets out of the way, allowing you flexibility to pace moments based on your actual interests and ability level. We loved the balance of nature and animals, stories from the Aboriginal people and different forms of unique transportation! It made the day go by quickly and feel like a total immersion in the region!
Don’t come from USA for the railway in Cairns

Would not recommend for USA TRAVELLERS. We paid in advance for train ride but were allocated seats as foreigners in middle seats with back to the view. We could not see any of the view we had paid to see. The people at the window blocked us up. Staff on the railway were not very kind or helpful to us as tourists. The speaker system on the railway was faint in volume. The guide he was explaining the site had an accent, and difficult to understand. In short, I would not recommend anybody from the United States. We get treated like second class citizens. Not unless Viator gets its act together.
Best way to see the rain forest

Train ride up and cable car down are worth the cost of admission. Beautiful scenery across the board. Duck tours were a little anticlimactic, but always an enjoyable way to see an area. It is a destination location so temper expectations of food/service/support.
