Chris was a fun guide who was somewhat laid back but made certain to keep us on track. Views were somewhat obscured due to weather, but we still had the full experience. Skyrail stops were great for getting in a bit of walking and loved the beautiful waterfalls. Could have used more time in Kuranda. So much to see there! Train had trouble starting so we were delayed 30 minutes. It was a just okay part of today’s journey and not as interesting as I thought it might be. Might have enjoyed it more if I hadn’t been assigned to a backward facing seat… Overall an interesting day with good experiences.

Booked this day trip for our last day in Port Douglas. Chris was an informative and funny driver. Great view from the sky rail. Unfortunately the scenic Train had broken down and we were not able to complete this part of the trip. We all rode the bus back down with Chris making us laugh with his stories, as this was completley out of their control. Kuranda has the best chocolate shop and we had lunch at the Crepe Restaurant. Amazing! huge and delious menu with plenty of choices. We also received a refund for the train price before we had even returned to Port Douglas. Would recommend for anyone wanting to do this without the hassle of driving yourself.

Great adventure that was made incredibly easy by Brett picking us up and dropping us off right in front of our hotel. The railway and the skyway were the perfect combo and both had incredible views of the falls and surrounding scenery. Brett was a knowledgeable, friendly tour guide who was happy to answer any questions our small group had. The only feedback I would share is to not waste too much time at a restaurant in Kuranda as we ran out of time to really shop! Would definitely recommend.

This tour was a good combination of the train and Skyrail as well as some time in Kuranda. Chris was helpful, humorous and informative.

It was a great day. It was my second time in the area after a 20 year gap and my husband had never been. We generally don’t do day tours so we weren’t sure how we’d enjoy it but it was great! Good mix of activities with a little bit of downtime in Kuranda. It was a small minibus tour. Chris our driver kept us informed and entertained and gave us a good run down of the format for the day. Hartley’s was good and let us see crocs up close and in action but the other demonstrations were also very informative and entertaining. We downloaded the app for the cable car which was useful to provide a bit more background on what you were seeing. We also upgraded to gold class for the scenic train which we felt was worth it as there were only two of us and made it feel that bit special. We got back at 7pm so it definitely was a full day and took the hassle out of the sightseeing and we could just relax and enjoy it.

Really enjoyed the trip. Brett was great with both information and making sure everything went smoothly. Loved the Gold class train trip. My favourite part of the day.

Trip was great from start to finish, everything was timed perfectly to make the most of our day. Pickup was easy and exactly on time. Train and Cable car views were amazing. I wouldn’t think twice about booking with Brett’s again. Thanks Andrea and Chris (not that Chris the other Chris) for a great day.

Fantastic tour with a great guide (Brett). Worked miracles to fit in a substitute tour following the after effects of cyclone Jasper. Train not running so added Hartleys Croc Tour instead. Thanks.
