Super nice !

Michael was on time and told us what to expect for the scenic railway. He did some recommandation where to get food during our time in the village of Kuranda. He also text us what to expect in details during the skyrail which was super nice to know! Also, when he pick us up at the end, he showed us a little of the city. He was east to reach via email, phone or text. His answer were quick. I think it was nice to have someone picking us up at the accompagnons-nous and bringing us back ‘cause it would have been hard to manage bus schedule time and all. Really enjoy my experience with Michael!

Michael, the tour operator was fantastic, he was very informative. The small coach van was very clean. Skyrail trip is one thing every tourist should do when visiting Cairns.👍👍 Well done.

Special travel experiences.

The Scenic rail and Skyrail journeys to and from Kuranda offer a unique experience to share both modern and historic forms of transport through and over a large area of rainforest in this mountainous area of Queensland. Both journeys provide the means for excellent commentaries including historical facts and why this area is now a World Heritage rainforest. Kuranda is a charming little settlement but rather too tourist-oriented for my taste. However the bush walks were an enjoyable escape from the crowds and souvenir shops, and the butterfly sanctuary was well presented in a natural and informative manner.

Thanks for the review. My itinerary on this tour allows 1.75 hours in Kuranda. My other tour via Skyrail up allows 2.5 hours and those needing more time just ask and I can perhaps give you some options.
