I loved the Scenic Railway ride up to Kuranda and well as the Skyrail ride down, an amazing way to see the rainforest. The Cultural experience was also fascinating and fun. Seeing some native animals up close was also a bonus. We had a very informative Tropic Wings bus driver, he told us many stories about what we were driving past on our way to and from the hotels.

Don't miss this experience! We took an airconditioned coach from Cairns 15 minutes north to Smithfield Platform where we boarded the skyrail that took us above the rainforest with the end goal of Kuranda. On the way, we stopped at 2 platforms for viewing, a short park ranger guided tour and an interactive station. Once in Kuranda we shopped, and refreshed with an ice cold drink before viewing the Koala's. Then we boarded the 1900's-built train for a stunningly beautiful return to Smithfield Platform.

The sky rail was fabulous and the railway was very scenic. The rain forests are quite dense. Lunch was very goof even for vegetarians like us. One request is to keep the veg and non- veg items separate as people use the same spoons to pick the food from veg and non veg counters.

We had an excellent trip and enjoyed every moment. The journey on Kuranda railway was very scenic. Our visit to the butterfly sanctuary was enjoyable, the butterflies were so beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed all the activities in the rainforest and the Bbq lunch was excellent. The skyrail journey back to Cairns was amazing. We would do it all again

Everything was great! The train ride in was fantastic and far exceeded my expectations. The activities at Kuranda (butterfly sanctuary, animal sanctuary, demos, lunch buffet, etc.) were fun and well planned/executed. The skyrail back was almost better than the train ride in. Guides were fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

susan_s

Beautiful place to visit a must see for sure. We didn’t have time to visit bird world just butterflies which was amazing. So I was disappointed in that. I would do bird world first then butterflies. Great buffet lunch was way more than expected too.

Very comfortable and relaxing itinerary, easy for everybody including elders and people with disabilities.

Tropic Wings are a reliable, professional and great value tour operator. We booked the classic Kuranda trip, as I’m not keen on butterflies, and it was fabulous! Trip highlights were most definitely the sky rail which we took into the village; the army duck tour with a truly hilarious driver/guide and the fantastic BBQ lunch. Interesting show and demonstrations of indigenous dances and traditions such as the didgeridoo and throwing a boomerang. Kuranda rail trip to Cairns was also very pleasant with some incredible views. Coach driver was always in the right place at the right time which was very much appreciated. Highly recommend this tour company.

Sharmila_C

The rainforest was a great experience despite the rain. Most of it was covered and so the rain did not have much of an impact. The train journey was lovely and the Barron Falls was amazing. The sky rail was an incredible experience.
