Great experience worth the trip up in the train, sadly the Skyrail was not working, but hartleys crocodile adventures made up for that and especially the free lunch vouchers
Seamless customer service with Scott. Picked up at our collection point on time and enjoyed the full day efficient and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this tour even though the Skyrail is being upgraded and not running. The lunch voucher was worth it as the food was high quality with the wagyu burger becoming a firm favourite. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Thanks to all involved.
The trip hadn’t even started, and I was already feeling frustrated. My itinerary instructed me to meet at the Skyrail Cableway entrance, and riding the Skyrail was supposed to be part of the journey. However, when I arrived, I discovered that the cableway was closed for maintenance — yet it still appeared on my itinerary. There was no public toilet anywhere nearby. The only toilet at the Skyrail entrance was for staff, and even though I asked for help, I was refused. The nearest public toilet was about a 10‑minute taxi ride away, and because the area is rural, getting a taxi is extremely difficult. If the Skyrail is not operating, I don’t understand why the meeting point remains at a location with no facilities for customers. This poor arrangement made the start of the journey unnecessarily uncomfortable.
Dear JJ_Q, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I appreciate your detailed feedback and sincerely regret that the start of your journey did not meet expectations. For this, please accept my sincere apologies. Your itinerary would have indicated that the meeting point was the Skyrail Cableway entrance as you would have booked a "self-drive" product which start and finish at Skyrail. The reason for this is the carpark is quite large so everyone can park their car in there. Despite your less than ideal start of the tour, I hope the rest of your day went well and made the most of it. Thank you Kind regards Nicolas Vernerey Operations Manager
Very well organized, the rail journey through forest was excellent with commentary in English, End the day at Hartley crocodiles farm, good shows and guidence
Pack some water and be ready for a fantastic day. Great tour and informative drive Hartley’s Croc Farm was very interesting, thought I knew a lot BUT I now know more. Thank you
This was a great and well organised tour. Driver Brendan was very informative and the whole tour was enjoyable for adults and kids alike. Highly recommend it.
Very organised with knowledgeable, helpful, welcoming friendly staff. Made our experience enjoyable from the get go!
Train was cool, but was quite late meaning that we had about 20mins only to try and squeeze in a walk around Kuranda which quickly proved very difficult to do. Cable car was amazing to be on. Would recommend thr cable car itself even as a singular day activity outside of a tour. Hartley's crocodile adventures were amazing and were the highlight of the day. Staff were so passionate about their animals and provided the most amazing information and shows.
We liked that it included 3 adventures in one. Would have liked more time to have lunch and shop. Pack a lunch!
we had a fabulous day both on the train and sky rail. we were very disappointed with the markets and area in general
