Excellent day tour.

5.00Great day out. It is a self guided tour with pick up and drop off but I think it can feel a bit confusing in the beginning. But the tour is easy to follow once you start. There is not restaurants with healthy food. Most is fast food. The village stalls sell similar products.
It’s a very special way...

4.00It’s a very special way to see the magnificent rainforest & waterfalls; and it provides an appreciation for the engineering wonder that resulted in the construction of the Sky Rail and the train track between Cairns & Kurrumba
Wonderful day!

4.00If you travel from Kuranda to Cairns, get a seat on the left side of the train. That's where the views are.
Poorly planned trip

2.00Our tour guide arrived 40 minutes late to pick us up from the designated hotel. Other tour operators told us “they’re always late”.
