Loved seeing all of the wildlife, especially the Koalas!!! Holding one was a life long g dream. It did not disappoint, however, if not good for Koalas, I say don’t allow humans contact as they are such wonderful animals! Loved learning from aborigines as well. What a wonderful day! Highly recommend! Bb

The Rainforestation was fantastic! Plenty of wildlife to see and the cultural aspect was excellent. I cannot throw a boomerang sadly. Kuranda Market is CLOSED on Mon and Tues and the river walk was also closed. There were shops in Kuranda City Center open. Lunch places all seemed to close early presumably because there were less crowds. I wish there was something that said the markets were closed as I would’ve reconsidered.

Nice trip with option Wildlife, Aboriginal Culture and Rainforest hike. Lot of free time in Kuranda instead of activities with locals/ Aboriginals what was planned but cancelled at morning

What an amazing day out from start to finish. There was so much included in this trip, I would recommend for any age. From start to finish I couldn't take the smile off my face. I did the grand kuranda and I could not fault it one bit for everything we did that day. One if the best trips I've ever did. the food was amazing too.

Fun and informative tour. Kylie was so helpful and assisted us last minute to changes to our tour to add the skyrail and train. Bus driver Ahsit was very helpful with all the changes. The tour was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and everything that was included.

Really enjoyed this tour, however, we went on a Friday when the sky rain and train wasn't operating which meant over half the shops in Kuranda didn't open as a result and we left earlier than a tour normally would. This did put a slight damper on the day as we weren't expecting it.

The morning activities were fun and well done. I always love being with and seeing animals here as well. As we chose not to visit the Butterfly Sanctuary or the 2 other animal options in the afternoon in Kuranda village, that period was too long. The extended market is basically left-over hippie style.

There are better places and trips than this. The name was confusing for me and disappointment because everything is called wildlife... It says here in the description of the wildlife park,but you are really only in one park (general- Rainforest) where you are are 3 section, there are fewer animals - you are done with the tour in 10 minutes, in my case it was pouring rain so the animals were mostly hidden. The only good thing is the opportunity to interact and feed the kangaroos, which is not everywhere. Yes, there is an extra performance from the aborigines and a duck ride. Experience the duck is interesting , but I wasn't impressed with the trees around as I expected,no photo shoot and wow effect didn't happen. The quality of the koala photos is also not top (extra paid-the photos are not flattering and the camera is not set up very well, I used to work on a photo booth myself and this would not pass well with my customers). Then when they take you to the Kuranda village, that's not exactly an experience either,a few shops that you can find anywhere else, no charming. To make some use of the time, I paid extra for admission to the Wildlife park there. The driver was pleasant, he just arrived in the morning about 25 min late so I was totally soaked through and feel cold (heavy rain that day) and also ended up leaving half an hour early.

We loved seeing, petting, and feeding the many kangaroos who were hopping around the facility. Also loved the koalas, and the opportunity to hold one, and have a photo taken with him. The boomerang throw was a highlight, as well as the spear throwing, and the Aborigine dancing and music!

The best tour 5/5!! This Kuranda tour run by Tropic Wings, it is a must to do when you visit Cairns! Everything was so perfect and well organised ❤️ Aussie BBQ lunch was soooooo good and I could not stop eating! All the staff were so precessional and friendly! I and my friends were having the best day! I’ve learned a lot about indigenous culture and their history. This was super educating and I was so blessed to get to know more about them! Butterfly garden and Kuranda market were close to each other and it was so beautiful xxx Amy duck tour was so fun as well! Definitely recommended to all the age group ❤️
