Wonderful tour - Wonderful tour. Scenic railway and skyline car were both enjoyable and worth the trip. In kursndavthete are many activities to fill the time and each of them are well done. The wildlife sanctuary gets you close to lotscof animals. This is a good tour.

Great views from the Skyrail, not much from the Railway - The views from the Skyrail were phenomenal. The Railway views were hard to see unless you were directly by the window. Get the Diamond Skyrail which allows you to see the canopy through the floor and also to skip the lines that are very long for the regular Skyrail cars. In Kuranda we went to the Kuranda Koala Gardens and were able to get a photo holding a koala which was worth a trip to Australia in itself.

Well worth doing - The scenic railway, the duck tour of the forest, cable car back down the mountain, plus Aboriginal show, didgereedoo demo, and have a go at boomerang throwing. You fit a lot into the day

Beautiful views - Already reviewed the train part which was lovely…I’d been looking forward to the skyrail part as I’d booked the glass bottom gondola. We had the gondola to ourselves which was great but it stopped partway down with a walkway to view before getting in another gondola for the final journey. For this we ended up having to share with another person so I was annoyed when we got to the bottom and they asked if we wanted a photo…why would I want some unknown person in my pic? Had we been alone then yes I’d have gladly had one!

Worth the extra few bucks for the tour vs doing it wall yourself. - This was a really great tou for young kids. Our 4 and 6 yearolds loved it. I definitely recommend taking the teai. Up and skyrail down. It was nice having a tour bus to take us over to the cultural center. The company did a pretty good job explaining our activities but I would recommend talking g to the people in the ticketing office when you arrive at the cultural center so they cn point out exactly where you should be abd wehn.

Excellent day - Very versatile excursion. Fun day from start to finish. Despite having rain that day, we were very lucky to be outside between 2 rain showers at every activity.

Exactly as described - It is a long day but the tour is as described. I guess we didn't find the actual sights all that exciting especially the train ride. But if this sounds like something you want to do, go for it.

Okay tour - It was an okay but not very exciting & fun tour. Tour was on time, lunch was okay . The shows were a little bit boring. I think children may enjoy the tour more than adults.
