• Fabulous unforgettable introduction to rainforests and small town life. Great access to birds, butterflies & koalas.

  The views from the gondola are Fantastic. The stops along the way are a ideal to stand below huge trees, smell and hear the rainforest. Kuranda is small and full of touristy stuff we are not buying- but lovers of unusual knick knacks will be in heaven at the multiple stalls & stores. Pub lunch was great with a cold beer. Then the river trip to see multiple species of turtles and fish, no crocs this time. Train ride back was fun in a solid wood carriage of at least 100 years. History of the construction of the bridges and railway lines are part of the commentary. Being within the hills and rain forest has a different perspective to the gondola. Highly recommend this tour

• Very beautiful but avoid in summer if you struggle in the heat!

  If it wasn’t so hot it would have been the perfect day! The views from the train ride were stunning, however there was no fans or aircon on the train so it was extremely hot. It would be ideal in the cooler months. Once at the top, barely any places had air conditioning to cool you down. The Skyrail down was a lot better as it seemed to have more airflow but still quite hot.

  It was a long day. The gondola ride and train were great and we enjoyed the butterfly garden. It was hot and we had too much time in Kuranda.

• Kuranda Rail great

  Kuranda rail and Skyrail really good. For lunch you need to go to The Crepe place which is past the information centre. Fully licensed and the food was great. Bit of a line but that moved very quickly. It was a shame when we were there a lot of the markets were shut.

• Great tour transport not fit for that name

  Hi. This is a review of the pick up and drop off on our tour today and is not a review of the Kurunda skyrail and train which was excellent. The pick up was confirmed 24 hours in advance at the Drift hotel Palm Cove and we were at a sign that said Drift Hotel Palm Cove 15 minutes before our pick ip at 8:50. At 9:01 I had a call asking where we were, I replied at the entrance to Drift hotel Palm Cove to be told it was the wrong entrance but it was the one we walked to from our accommodation. I also informed the tour company that I was on crutches in the confirmation. I did not know that the true meeting place was at reception which is another 100 metres from the entrance. Eventually we met up with the bus only to be told we were in the wrong place, we were told the Drift hotel not specifically the reception. The tour was brilliant and a good journey back to Palm Cove, them we expected to stop at the Drift reception but oh no we passed that then the bus stopped to drop us off. Ad I exited the coach I complimented the driver on extending our walk home which is more difficult on my crutches.

  Communication with tour provider was good and picks ups were punctual. You definitely don’t need a full day in Kuranda. Such a small town. The Koala Park is tiny! Don’t waste your money going there. You are better off doing Kuranda by yourself so you don’t feel trapped by needing to wait until your allocated train ride back. The train is very slow and very very hot! Barron Falls was amazing and the highlight of the tour.

• Moderate tour. You can book the transport tickets directly onsite though

  It’s been a good tour with some nice viewpoints but nothing mind blowing or spectacular. The train is really nice, cable car has a great view. For a day trip it is okay. Kuranda City is over priced, super expensive food.

• Kuranda Gondola and Sky Rail

  It was amazing. I don’t like heights but the Gondola up was so worth it and the staff were efficient and reassuring. I preferred the sky rail to the gondola but I would recommend you do both. The stops to get off and walk to view the waterfall were great as well.

  The experience of the scenic railway and cable car was very good, thoroughly enjoyable and beautiful scenery. What we didn’t appreciate looking more into this day trip booking was our ‘tour guide’ turned up 25 minutes late to pick us up so we only just made the train (we pulled up to the station as the train did) so we had no time at Freshwater station to have a look and relax before getting on the train. The pick up on the way home was on time. Upon looking into this tour the cost of it is excessive for what is included. You can book yourselves the train and Skyrail at a cost of $125 each. This tour was $215 each, the only other thing that was included were the transfers - $90 each to be picked up late and then dropped off after is ridiculous. The cost of booking a day trip came with no added benefit for us to justify the cost. Much better to book this yourselves and book a taxi each way from Palm Cove - you’ll save yourselves money and have a better experience
