Took this tour but only wanted train and then bus to and then from Kuranda. We were told we had to take the Sky Rail but no bus when we arrived back down from that. I rang to ask where the bus was and was firmly told, “Well, didn’t you check your ticket?” That is the ticket and timetable we received once on the first bus to the train station. Not what we wanted. We came down on the allocated Sky Rail and no bus for over an hour. No, explicit itinerary of when the bus was due until after we started the trip which is not what we wanted. The girl at the office even asked, “Well, didn’t you do any activities up there?” That would be no just as we said when we booked the ticket. Not what we wanted so this company convinced us it is cheaper and more convenient for o hire a car and do it ourselves. No more bookings with them.
Dear True, I regret to hear that your day did not meet expectations. For this, please accept my sincere apologies. I understand your frustration caused regarding the bus transfer timing and the way your enquiry was handled when you contacted our team. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and your feedback will be addressed with our staff to ensure clearer communication and a more supportive approach moving forward. All our transfers are timed with our Skyrail departure times from Kuranda. If you could give me more info regarding your booking, I could then look more specifically what happened on that day as no one should have to wait 1 hour to get the transfer back to Cairns. I hope the rest of your time in our region went well. Kind regards Nicolas Vernerey Operations Manager
All staff is helpful. No worries. You only need yo ask for help. The Australian armor and artillery museum was awesome. As was the rest of the trip. How ever the museum was my favorite!
Well organised tour, everything went smoothly and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. All staff we encountered were super friendly and helpful, would recommend to anyone looking to spend a day in Cairns.
Our experience was fantastic. Every part of the trip was seamless. The team looking after us from kiosk, ticket taker, carriage attendants were so helpful with a smile. The app was great. The views were breathtaking. An experience we will never forget.
Hi Robyn, Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you had a fantastic experience and that our team made it even more special. Those views really are unforgettable! Many Thanks, Claire Guest experience consultant
Enjoyed this trip to Kuranda . The Sky rail was a great way to see the rainforest and amazing Waterfalls. The train ride was so cool and informative . It was so interesting to learn about the construction and marvel at the ingenuity from so long ago.
Dear Escape, Your thoughtful feedback is greatly appreciated. We’re committed to providing the highest level of service. Kind Regards Queena Guest experience consultant
Really really good - well planned, and informative. The coach driver was the right level of humour and professionalism. Train trip is a must and super scenic, as is the skytrain. Do this- do this - do this.
Hello, Thanks for the review. It's a great all-inclusive day and we are so proud of our driver/guides at Down Under Tours! Glad you enjoyed it!
