Foresta pluviale del Kuranda e ferrovia panoramica del Kuranda (R1BT)

Very nice, very interesting.

We had such a great day on the Kuranda tour. The Duck tour was way more fun than we expected. Our guide had the perfect mix of facts and jokes, so we learned about the rainforest while actually laughing. Driving straight into the water never gets old. After that, we explored the Kuranda markets and they were great to wander through. Lots of handmade crafts, Indigenous art, and little food spots. It’s touristy in the best way — you can easily spend an hour just browsing. And finally, the Kuranda Scenic Railway was amazing. Sitting back as the train cut through tunnels, past Barron Falls and lush rainforest — it felt like stepping into a postcard. All together it was a great blend of adventure, scenery, and local culture. If you want one day trip from Cairns that gives you everything, this is it.

From point of reservation/booking, the staff at Tropic Wings Cairns was most prompt and helpful with their replies.

Great time and a lot to do and see despite the rain. Very good bus guide, attentive and caring. Though the your company could have given options for pick up, not only one place. Train trip was very exciting, with lots of amazing views and thrilling gorge moments. Amphibian journey through the rainforest was very impressive and the guide was very entertaining and introduced the main inhabitants of the nature. Aboriginal dance and bumerang throwing was great.

This excursion is a lot of fun and not at all physically taxing. A decent amount of time on a bus to start your day but the wildlife preserve and other activities make it worth it. You’ll get up close with kangaroos and other native animals, learn some history and see a lot of natural beauty. The train down the mountain is a great end to the day. Have your camera ready. Plenty of good views.

Train was great and seeing the Baron falls it was flowing due to all the rain Karunda a nice little town

Very informative guide and the duck boat was good fun. The aboriginal section of the trip was much better than I expected only the train journey while really nice is quite long two hour journey Would however recommend the trip, well organised and informative

People were friendly, informative and right on time. Transportation was good to the Rainforestation. Sit on the left side of the train in direction of travel if taking the scenic railway back to Cairns. (Heritage class)

Firstly, driver had 8 different lots of info to give out on the bus there, and mine was the last. Was totally confused by the time we got to my stop. I thought the ‘Rainforestation’ was outdated, small and obviously man manufactured. Very different to the Daintree experience. Constant flow of tourists being shuttled in and out. My main concern was seeing a Koala trying to protect her baby from us, crossing her arms in-front then lowering her head so the baby was out of sight. Really upset me! Then there was the pictures of people holding very sad looking koalas, its banned in NSW and they are aware its detrimental to the animals, yet they still encourage you to do it. For a price of course! The Dingos had a very small enclosure and were pacing up and down and the free roaming Kangaroos cowered at the back trying to stay inconspicuous. We were constantly be reminded to visit the ‘ Butterfly Sanctuary’ in Kuranda again as an extra cost. Why butterflies need a sanctuary I dont understand, surely they are better off free?! And finally, we were given a numbered seat to sit in on the train. Mine was in the middle seat. There were two men by the window. I couldnt see a thing and literally got one photo of a waterfall on the right of the train! I definitely wont be travelling with Tropic Wings again.

Bus 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.
