The first stop after train ride was very confusing. The driver gave us so much info, that we could not process. A simple handout during train ride with tour details would have been very helpful.

Great trip. Stunning scenery and loved the railway. The onboard staff made sure everyone got good seats next to the windows for the best views. The waterfalls are amazing. The Butterfly sanctuary was magical and would recommend listening to one of their guided tours; really interesting. Rainforestation exceeded my expectations. Our guide on the army duck boat was very entertaining but also knowledgeable, pointing out lots including a red bellied black snake and huge golden orb spiders. Also particularly enjoyed the Pamagirri demonstration especially having a go at boomerang throwing. Cable car descent also very special. Great day and thanks to our drivers Steve and Ben who made the day very easy.

This was a highlight of our holiday. Extraordinary train trip to Karunda in restored c1908 carriages with spectacular views along the way. Karunda very touristy but lots of fun. The return trip by cable car over the rain forest was the best experience. We were lucky that the Barron Falls were raging after all the rain and I believe better than Niagra Falls in Canada. To look down into the rain forrest was awe inspiring and a little humbling

This was a good day out, the train ride was a fun great experience, the history of the making of the train line and landmarks were explained well and given plenty of time for photo opportunities. The walk around idyllic Kuranda village was nice and relaxing, there was a good selection of food shops as well as a different variety of shops, including art, clothing and gift stores, definitely stop in at the village market situated amongst the trees as well try a round of mini golf. The ride back in the skyrail, was also worth the ride over the treetops giving a different perspective from above, great day out overall.
