The rail was shutdown due to weather conditions. Apparently the wet season shuts the railway down this time of year. No warning until the day before.

The tour operator canceled the tour. We did not find out until we called after waiting at the pick up location and no pickup.

Tour operator failed to notify me that the tour was cancelled and in fact tried to upsell me the day before our scheduled tour to a "waterfall" tour. They failed to pick us up at the designated location in Cairns, and cancelled us without notice. We took an Uber to the Skytrain on our own and paid separately for the Skytrain. A very nice manager at the Skytrain called this tour operator for us and was told that they'd cancelled our tour - taht was the first we knew of it. The Kuranda experience itself was meh - not horrible, not terrible, not great either. BTW, I emailed the tour operator two days ago and they didn't even respond to my email. Do yourself a favor - rent a car for the day and drive up there on your own. You'll save money and won't have to deal with these folks.
