Overview

Discover Kuranda's legendary railway and World Heritage rainforest on a small-group tour of up to 10 guests, with multilingual guides (English, Mandarin, Cantonese).

Ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway from Cairns through World Heritage rainforest, past Barron Falls and dramatic gorges.

In Kuranda, join your guide for a short rainforest walk, then enjoy 1.5 to 2 hours of free time in the village markets, galleries and cafes.

In the afternoon, board a WWII Army Duck at Rainforestation Nature Park to explore jungle waterways, then visit the Koala and Wildlife Park to meet koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles and cassowaries. Your guide drives you back to Cairns by 4pm.

Lunch is not included. If the morning train is fully booked, the day runs in reverse: Army Duck and wildlife park first, free time in the village, then the train back to Cairns.
