Cairns: Kuranda Skyrail, Army Duck & Koalas Small-Group Day Trip

About this activity

Kuranda, Skyrail and Rainforestation Nature Park in one small-group day from Cairns, max 10 guests. Guided by owner Man, a Cairns local for over 15 years, in English, Mandarin or Cantonese. No train on this tour.

Pickup is from your Cairns city accommodation or Cairns Airport at around 8:30 AM by air-conditioned minivan.

At Rainforestation, ride an authentic World War II Army Duck from land to water through the Wet Tropics rainforest, then meet koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, crocodiles and the cassowary in the Koala and Wildlife Park.

Spend 2 hours in Kuranda Village exploring the heritage markets, galleries and cafes. Lunch is at your own expense.

Glide one way on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway above the world's oldest tropical rainforest, with views over Barron Gorge.

Skyrail may run at the start or end of the day, so the itinerary may be reversed. If Skyrail maintenance affects your date, we will contact you early with an alternative plan.
