Extremely well organised which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. The scenic railway and skyrail are both stunning. The butterfly house was great and we really enjoyed our day at the rainforestation, especially the duck tour. We'd have liked a bit longer in Kuranda as it is an interesting little place but overall this was a fabulous day.

An excellent trip. The combination of mountain railway, cable sky rail above the tropical rainforest and then the Aboriginal Centre is probably unique in the world.

This was a great trip. Thought that it was much better to go up by train and back down by sky rail had heard that the train trip down was noisy because of the brakes. Enjoyed the markets and the Butterfly Sanctuary.

DO the skyrail first so you can relax on the train on the way back! Great trip!

Really spectacular. I had never been on a train ride that was so thrilling, and so spectacular. The people in the village of Kuranda was very friendly and accomidating.

We had a very nice day in Kuranda even though the railway had suffered a mud slide so we could not use it. We used the tram both ways. Thoroughly enjoyed the Kuranda activities and the time allowed as almost perfect. Good lunch too!
