Kuranda Tours | Kuranda Train - Half / Full Day Tour | KQC
You’ll start your Kuranda day tour journey with a pick-up in a luxury coach from your accommodation in either Cairns or the northern beaches.
Sit back in your reclining, leather seat as your professional driver gives an overview of what you can expect to see and do on your Kuranda day tour.
If you have chosen to travel aboard the Kuranda train scenic rail when booking, you’ll first arrive at Freshwater Station where you’ll board your pre-assigned carriage on the historic Kuranda train.
Winding through tunnels, across bridges, past thick rainforest, breathtaking views, and waterfalls tumbling into deep ravines, you’ll understand how lives were lost during the construction of this magnificent railway line in the late 1800s.
The informative audio commentary brings the stories of the railway to life. The Kuranda train journey takes approximately 90 minutes, which includes a stop along the way at the Barron Falls lookout.
Once you’ve arrived at Kuranda known as the quaint ‘Village in the Rainforest ’, you’ll have time to explore at your own leisure.
The daily Heritage Markets are a nod to the ingrained arts culture of Kuranda and are a must-do.
You’ll find woodwork, handmade leather goods, pottery, glasswork, jewellery, and more.
Indulge in a sweet treat, paired with coffee made from locally roasted beans, at one of the many cafés, or put your walking shoes to use, venturing along one of the surrounding tracks; suitable for every age and fitness level.
Or perhaps you’d like to explore one of the top tourist attractions, including Birdworld, Australia’s largest Butterfly Sanctuary, and the Kuranda Koala Gardens.
Discounts are provided as part of the Kuranda VIP Boarding Pass; however, the final entry cost is at your own expense.
When it’s time to return to Cairns, you’ll board your carriage or coach for the return journey to Cairns.

We found the train trip up and the sky rail back quite interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed the river cruise at Kuranda. We were not that interested in the shops and found the area quite commercialised. It took some time to get back down by sky rail as there were so many people waiting. The transport services were very efficient.

Thanks for your feedback Jennifer. The Kuranda Day tour is one of the most popular tours on offer in Cairns. We are pleased you took the time to enjoy the river cruise and some of the lesser known sights of Kuranda.

A must do activity for all visitors to Tropical North Queensland. Definitely recommend the Diamond upgrade Gondola, it was spectacular (and shorter queues!). The train trip back we upgraded to First Class and was a very unique experience and worth the indulgence. We had a fantastic day.

Hi Leann, Glad to hear you enjoyed your Kuranda day tour.
Its great to do both Skyrail Cableway & Kuranda Scenic Railway as they show the rainforest from a very different perspective.

Loved the Skyrail going up and the train coming back down and of course Kuranda Village in between. Went to see the birds and koalas , strolled around the market and enjoyed the atmosphere. In Skyrail ride met two lovely guys from Sydney . One of them was afraid of heights so i told him about the unfortunate incident at Arthur's Seat in Victoria where the suspension collapsed. I think that made their day, they suggested that I also visit Rotorua in N.Z. as they also have a lovely gondola ride. Shall put that on the 'to do' list.
