A terrific day out. - The tour was led by Brett who was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a stunning day and the tour was so well organised, all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. Great insight into the early days of the area and development of the railway and the blend of cultures and lifestyles. A lovely day out with fabulous views from the Skyrail.

Kuranda train,village and sky rail tour and a bit extra! - Punctual, polite, extensive knowledge about Port Douglas and the hinterland. Brett made everyone feel welcomed and introduced everybody to each other. His people skills made us all feel comfortable and welcomed. He always did that little bit extra that makes the difference between good and excellent service.

Dissapointed! - The trip itself in terms of the itinerary is well worth your time but a series of errors on our particular tour impacted our overall enjoyment and comfort. The driver initial error was leaving behind two customers but he was then led astray by his team who clearly did not have a plan B. As a result: 1. The driver was asked to turn back more than an hour into the trip 2. Once we had travelled back about 10 mins, he was asked to turn back again 3. He was sent to the sky rail by error, resulting in us missing the train and being sent back to the sky rail Despite these errors, we would have been more than happy to give this tour a higher rating had it not been for actions of the owner. He was arrogant and unapologetic in his comments to myself and my cousin when we asked questions about the new itinerary for the day. It was a hot day and we were concerned about how the delays would impact my baby but he displayed no empathy at all. He spoke to us as though we were beneath him, making comments such as, 1. So, what we all have babies? 2. Calm down 3. These things happen 4. You need to change your attitude, etc. We did not raise our voices once, yet he continued to insinuate through comparison with other customers that our behaviour was untoward, not recognising that our questions came from a place of concern for the baby. If it were not for the kindness of the driver who really tried to make our day better, we would be giving this less than 3 stars.
