We were unable to do the train part of the tour because of a landslide on the tracks the night before. When picking us up the tour company gave us the option of a full refund or taking a bus to Kuranda. Since we had limited time in the area we chose the bus ride. The only issue is that it got us to town before 9:00 and nothing was open. When the driver dropped us off he said things would open around 9:30 but it was actually closer to 10 and even when they did open there was not a lot in the town to see. The markets have very few booths open and wasn't really worth the time. Rainforestation was interesting. There is the ability to get your picture holding a Koala but you have to book it in advance directly with them not through the tour company. The cable car ride back was the best part. Great views the whole way. Be sure to got off at the first stop and see the waterfall. It is beautiful.

We signed up for a Skyrail up and Scenic Railway down less than a week before our tour date. The railway was not running due to landslides by recent heavy rains. We did not hear from the Topic Wings operator regarding this situation until 4 hours before our tour was to begin (4:30 am.) of our tour. (We were unable to get message due to lack of internet/cell service). However, we learned that the railway hasn't had many successful runs since the Jasper cyclone and subsequent rains. We were not the only people 'stuck' and they were contacted by their operator the day before. My suggestion to future tourists is to check out the scenic railway operations track record. Riding the railway was our key objective, not necessarily the Kuranda Village (mostly shops) and attractions which you need to pay for each one individually. The Rainforestation is a much better option vs the Kuranda attractions. We have been provided a partial refund, however, we would have preferred the ability to cancel for a full refund.

The day was packed full of wonder filled moments. From the moment I arrived at Freshwater Station. (a delight in itself). The station is beautiful and the arrival of the first train to run since the cyclone was a majestic scene. The way we were all seated on the train was thoughtfully done. I was seated opposite a young woman who was also travelling alone and we hooked up for the day. The journey up to the rain forest encouraged many pictures. Kuranda village and the market was fun and then a quick bus ride to the rainforest centre, where we saw Koalas and all sorts, had a great barbeque lunch, saw aboriginal dance and how to throw boomerang, make spears etc. Finally the Sky Rail back down. It was raining by then so the ride down was obscured, but still amazing. All in all a truly magnificent day.

Our tour guide Geoff was great, while we missed out on the train because of cyclone jasper, the bus ride up the mountain was a great experience. The duck boat rides were really interesting. One small bummer about Kuranda, by the time we got out of the butterfly conservancy most of Kuranda Village shops were closed, by 3pm. The Skyrail was a great experience.

A full day out taken at a fairly relaxed pace, great rides by train up and cable car down giving very different views of the forest. Other activities at the rainforest park and a simple but filling lunch.
