We so enjoyed gliding over the Rainforest canopy with the QR code travel guide explaining the terrain and history. Kuranda hasn’t changed much since we visited 7 years ago. The neighbourhood house and Post office staff very friendly and helpful. The train ride back was spectacular and a historical look back to how the line was built. All in all a great day out

Travelling up the Skyrail on a beautiful clear morning we could see for miles. Two stops on the way up to admire the view and see the Baron falls, arriving in Kuranda we found lots of local traders in the market and surrounding shops selling everything Ozzie and lots of local art, plenty of cafes and a couple of pubs for lunch. Back on the scenic railway to freshwater station and a bus back to our car. Excellent day

Kaurna rail and sky rail is amazing and highly recommended. GYG as the tour booking service is absolutely terrible. No contact made after tour times were changed resulting it having two kids go straight up and back with no time to spend at Kuranda. Daughter was 1 year old when this happened so stressful and awful day for the parents
