Kuranda and train ride.

5.00Bus driver was very informative and took us to Kuranda rain forest. The animal park was small but had a good selection of Australian animals which you could get close to. The duck vehicle tour was good but could be a little more off road. The aboriginal dance and activities were good. The driver took us to Leura and we then walked to the train station. The train ride back was very good.
One of my Favorite Tours!

5.00This experience was even better than the description. Even though we visited the Rainforest early in our trip this tour offered very different views. Having a chance to hold a Koala was unforgettable. The DUWK (Duck) boat experience was perfect - Scott was humorous but extremely knowledgeable. The aboriginal sessions added a great deal to our day. A little shopping time in Kuranda was well spent (no pun intended) The train ride back to Cairns was the perfect way to end our day.
Highly recommend

5.00The Duck Army experience was excessive, but I appreciate that the rest of the trip was really great and not too much hassle. It was worth choosing Kuranda over Daintree Forest, and it was easy and convenient to enjoy a night in Cairns.
Good experience to see a typical rainforest on an army duck.

5.00Lovely day at the rainforest being driven on an army duck. A well organised trip with lots of pick ups before arriving the Kuranda RF. unfortunately we were unable to do the scenic rail part of the tour due to weather conditions, but a very reasonable refund was granted.

5.00If you were an outdoors person and an animal lover, this is the tour for you. Animals everywhere, and the koalas and the kangaroos are so wonderful to see and hold. The staff was excellent and everything was quality. I highly recommend this to anyone.
