This was the worst tour I think I’ve ever been on. My partner and I have traveled a lot of the world, and have been in Australia for a month and this is still the worst tour we have been on. We are ubering back to our hotel half way into the day because it’s not worth finishing. We want our money back. To start, the train ride is slow and boring. I guess the waterfall was cool, but not worth the hour and a half train ride. That was probably the best part of the trip. After that, you’re left in Kuranda for about an hour and a half to see some really touristy shops and a butterfly sanctuary that has no interesting butterflies. We walked through the town, got some coffee, and sat their twiddling out thumbs. We asked if we could head to the rainforestation early but were told that it was either wait in town or wait there. We got to the rainforestation, where we were excited to go on the duck boat tour- sooo dumb!! You went around a short loop where they pointed out spiders, 2 dangerous plants, and a snake. Not at all worth it- we still want our money back. After that, was lunch. We’re vegan so we asked if there were vegan options. We are more than happy to bring our own lunches, we’ve done it on a few tours. We were told, though, that there were vegan options. They didn’t lie, there was watery rice and a watery, flavorless curry that barely had any veggies or anything in it. To all the non vegans- nothing else looked appealing either. After lunch, we had time before the indigenous dance so we decided to walk through the nature park. The animals are kept in small enclosures and they seem visibly depressed. After that, we didn’t think the rest of the day was worth it. We called an Uber and drove the 30 minutes back to Cairns. We want our money back, as we can’t be given our time back. Save yourself the money and time. Do not book this experience.

We were unable to do the train part of the tour because of a landslide on the tracks the night before. When picking us up the tour company gave us the option of a full refund or taking a bus to Kuranda. Since we had limited time in the area we chose the bus ride. The only issue is that it got us to town before 9:00 and nothing was open. When the driver dropped us off he said things would open around 9:30 but it was actually closer to 10 and even when they did open there was not a lot in the town to see. The markets have very few booths open and wasn't really worth the time. Rainforestation was interesting. There is the ability to get your picture holding a Koala but you have to book it in advance directly with them not through the tour company. The cable car ride back was the best part. Great views the whole way. Be sure to got off at the first stop and see the waterfall. It is beautiful.

We signed up for a Skyrail up and Scenic Railway down less than a week before our tour date. The railway was not running due to landslides by recent heavy rains. We did not hear from the Topic Wings operator regarding this situation until 4 hours before our tour was to begin (4:30 am.) of our tour. (We were unable to get message due to lack of internet/cell service). However, we learned that the railway hasn't had many successful runs since the Jasper cyclone and subsequent rains. We were not the only people 'stuck' and they were contacted by their operator the day before. My suggestion to future tourists is to check out the scenic railway operations track record. Riding the railway was our key objective, not necessarily the Kuranda Village (mostly shops) and attractions which you need to pay for each one individually. The Rainforestation is a much better option vs the Kuranda attractions. We have been provided a partial refund, however, we would have preferred the ability to cancel for a full refund.

The day was packed full of wonder filled moments. From the moment I arrived at Freshwater Station. (a delight in itself). The station is beautiful and the arrival of the first train to run since the cyclone was a majestic scene. The way we were all seated on the train was thoughtfully done. I was seated opposite a young woman who was also travelling alone and we hooked up for the day. The journey up to the rain forest encouraged many pictures. Kuranda village and the market was fun and then a quick bus ride to the rainforest centre, where we saw Koalas and all sorts, had a great barbeque lunch, saw aboriginal dance and how to throw boomerang, make spears etc. Finally the Sky Rail back down. It was raining by then so the ride down was obscured, but still amazing. All in all a truly magnificent day.

Our tour guide Geoff was great, while we missed out on the train because of cyclone jasper, the bus ride up the mountain was a great experience. The duck boat rides were really interesting. One small bummer about Kuranda, by the time we got out of the butterfly conservancy most of Kuranda Village shops were closed, by 3pm. The Skyrail was a great experience.

A full day out taken at a fairly relaxed pace, great rides by train up and cable car down giving very different views of the forest. Other activities at the rainforest park and a simple but filling lunch.

Bruce_L

The whole day well spent. The train ride was like taking a step back in history over beautiful vistas. I particularly liked rainforest stop with the narrative on the local trees and bush. The skyway was a breathtaking finish.

Ada_M

Day started with a wonderful ride through the forest in an old vintage train with interesting commentary of the history of the train and settlement of the area . Enjoyed the ride on the duck to experience the area from the water and see different species of flora and fauna. Loved, loved the aboriginal dancers & musicians, especially the two children who entertained us. Then the spear and boomerang throwing demos. Lunch was delicious. The skyrail ride home over the top of the rainforest was stunning. A perfect and unique way to end a wonderful day.

HEATHER_C

Nice overview of the area for a first-time tourist. Highlights for us were the koalas, sky ride gondola and beauty of the rain forest. We got to experience so much in one day. A very special thank you to bus driver THOMAS JIA for going out of his way to drop off a lost item at our hotel before we departed Cairns and Winnie Ju at TropicWings for her assistance. That service made a great experience even better. Much appreciated!
