Excelent experince! - I loved this tour! Everything was organized perfectly. We received outline of activities (with time when each activity starts), and everyone followed the schedule! It was filled day - we did revered tour - Skyrail first but still was amazing. The Butterfly sanctuary was awesome, I also enjoyed the cultural show and activities as well as the lunch (very good one) and the Kuranda scenic train. Loved everything we did! Highly recommend this tour!

Packed day - Our bus pick up was 20 minutes late, but other than that, everything was pretty good. The butterfly sanctuary was much better than expected, and I wish we had a bit more time there. Since we already had a cultural talk about aboriginal lives, that part of the program could have been shorter - though enjoyed the experience of throwing a boomerang (even though it was only one shot). I wasn't expecting much from the duck boat ride, but our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the tropical rain forest. The cable car back was also nice - and I also wish we had a bit more time at each station to walk around. However, when you tried to pack everything in one day, this was necessary.

Experience the beauty of Grand Kuranda - Me and my family took an army duck tour last sunday and we had a really good time. We would like to compliment your new guide Mark. He had really good and interesting comments about nature and wildlife that made the tour fun and enjoyable. We also loved other activities in Kuranda, like the Pamagirri Aboriginal experience. We learned how to throw a boomerang and we enjoyed the presentation of Aboriginal coulture. The scenic Railway had some really good views and the train to Cairns was most enjoyable. Sending love from Slovenia.

Worth the money - Such a peaceful train ride to Kuranda. Cute town and was super excited to get my pic with a koala(very quick experience though). The Skyrail was also pretty cool.

Great value—amazing day ! - Great value; superb logistics from all aspects. We enjoyed the whole experience. Buffet lunch not that great but we didn’t care given train, sky tram and activities of Rainforest station. Truly enjoyed our day!! Driver who picked us up at hotel was charming and full of great info to share as preview and post trip.

Good day for a family adventure in the rainforest for the first time - This was a great scenic and first-time tourist expedition. The duck boat tours were a hit with the whole family, and we had a wonderfully funny guide. The aboriginal show was really interactive for the kids, and they were super engaged. Great day of activities!

Absolutely worth it! Held a koala - Wonderful experience. It is a long day so get a good nights sleep the day before. An unexpected hi-light was holding a koala.
