Great trip the train ride and the sky rail was the highlight for us. The rainforest sanctuary was a bonus it was nice to see all the local animals specially as they are rare to see in the wild. Lunch was huge and impossible to finish. We have really enjoyed the whole day and would recommend this tour to others

It was great day would sure do it again. Only problem was that the driver did not meet us at the station as was expected. We were lucky to see him in the village, when he seen our tour sticker. He then rung the office and organized the rest of our day.

We had an excellent day at Kuranda. The highlights were the Kuranda Rainforest Station, animal sanctuary, Dreamtime and especially the aqua duck expertly guided by Chris. Learning how to throw a boomerang was hilarious fun. The train trip back was fascinating. Cheers
