About our Kuranda Day Tours
Discover World Heritage rainforest and the charm of Kuranda on a relaxed, small-group tour.
Join us for a day that blends nature, culture, and comfort in one unforgettable experience. Our small-group tours (maximum 20 guests) ensure personalised service, engaging commentary, and a relaxed pace as we travel along the stunning Captain Cook Highway in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle.
With two daily departure times from Port Douglas and the Northern Beaches, our 7.5-hour Kuranda and Palm Cove tours offer flexibility to suit your travel plans.
Choose Your Scenic Journey
With two daily departures, you can choose the travel direction that suits you best:
- Early Morning Departure: Travel up to Kuranda on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, then return down via the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway.
- Later Morning Departure: Glide up to Kuranda on the Skyrail, then return down on the Kuranda Scenic Railway.
Both options offer the same wonderful inclusions — just in reverse — so you can choose based on your preferred timing or experience.
Highlights Include:
🚠 Skyrail Rainforest Cableway
Float just above the rainforest canopy on the award-winning Skyrail, with two immersive stops at Red Peak and Barron Falls to explore the World Heritage-listed environment.
🛍️ Free Time in Kuranda Village
Your guide will meet you and transfer you into the heart of Kuranda – the “Village in the Rainforest.” With step-free access and vehicle transfers, this experience is friendly for guests with limited mobility. Enjoy two hours of free time to explore markets, cafes, galleries, or visit the Butterfly Sanctuary, Bird World, or Koala Gardens (entry optional, at own expense).
🚂 Kuranda Scenic Railway
One of Australia’s most iconic train rides, winding through hand-built tunnels, rainforest-covered mountains, and stunning waterfalls. Upgrade to Gold Class for a more indulgent journey.
🌴 Palm Cove Stopover
End the day with a short scenic drive to Palm Cove. Sip a cocktail, wine, or soft drink (at your own expense) while gazing over the beach, or enjoy a gentle stroll along the palm-lined esplanade.
