Great day - wish we had more time!

4.00Great day and experience. The Skyrail, the train ride back and the army duck tour were all great. I only wish we could have started the day earlier. There is so much to do in Kuranda - between the butterfly garden, the bird zoo, the markets, etc. that I ran out of time and was very disappointed that I couldn't see everything. Since no lunch is provided, you also have to spend time finding lunch and ordering during time in Kuranda as well. My hotel pickup was at 8am - feels like we could easily have started at 7am (assuming the skyrail opens up earlier) so we could have had more time to explore and do the activities. The koala and kangaroo park by the army duck tour was incredible and so glad I got to see it! Overall, great day but wish there was more time!

4.00The sights from the skyrail were amazing. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. We loved having so much spare time discovering Kuranda Village between planned activities. The Army Duck was very informative and our tour guide was hilarious. He obviously loved his job. The train ride home was so cool, showing many breathtaking views. The whole tour was organise extremely well
I would have appreciated...
