Kuranda Day Tour | Skyrail | Kuranda Scenic Train | Hartley's Crocodile Adventures
Save $70.00 on our Kuranda Family Combo Package Tour Deal
Your Kuranda Village Package Tour will begin with a transfer from your accommodation in Cairns or the Northern Beaches to the Kuranda Train Scenic Railway station.
More than 120 years old and steeped in history, the railway line is considered an engineering feat, even by today’s standards.
Once at Kuranda Village, you’ll have an hour to explore this quaint village in the Rainforest.
Wander around the Heritage Markets, a showcase of the ingrained arts culture of the village; venture along one of the many walking paths; or visit one of the wildlife attractions, including the Koala Gardens, where you can cuddle this iconic marsupial.
There are plenty of café and restaurant options for a bite to eat.
After an hour of free time, you’ll make your way to the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway station.
Gliding above rainforest canopy, over the Barron River, and past tumbling waterfalls, you’ll understand why this is one of the most sought after ways to see the region’s World Heritage-listed rainforest.
Hartley’s Crocodile Park Adventures is next on the agenda, where you’ll see plenty of these prehistoric predators in action.
You’ll also learn about other revered native animals, such as the endangered Cassowary, kangaroos, wallabies, and deadly snakes.
Your Kuranda Coach Awaits
Your Kuranda day tour will begin with a coach pick-up from your Cairns or Northern Beaches accommodation.
While the exact pick up time will vary depending on where you’re staying – and will be communicated to you upon booking – you can expect to be collected between 7:00am and 8:00am.
Kuranda Train Tour
Then it’s all aboard the historic Kuranda Train tour for an 8:50am departure. Built in the late 1800s, the construction of this railway line is an engineering feat even by today’s standards.
Listen to the commentary, and as you pass incredible, panoramic views and travel over dozens of bridges, through 15 tunnels, and around 93 curves; the stories of the railway’s history will have you appreciating this journey even more.
The trip will take approximately 90 minutes.
Kuranda The Village in the Rainforest
Once you’ve arrived at Kuranda, at approximately 10:20am, you’ll have an hour to explore on your own.
Wander through the Heritage Markets, venture along one of the many walking paths, or visit one of the native Australian wildlife attractions, including Kuranda Koala Gardens, where you can cuddle this iconic Australian marsupial. Be sure to have morning tea at one of the many cafés.
Skyrail Rainforest Gondola Tour
At 11:30am you’ll board the Skyrail tour for your 7.5km return journey to Cairns. As your gondola descends from the Atherton Tablelands you’ll glide above rainforest canopy, over the Barron River, and past tumbling waterfalls.
This is one of the most spectacular ways to see the region’s World Heritage-listed rainforest, not only for the views but because you’ll also have an opportunity to alight at two stations along the way.
The first is Red Peak Station. Here you can enjoy a complimentary ranger-guided tour. Barron Falls Station where you’ll be able to visit the CSIRO Rainforest Interpretation Centre and wander along the boardwalks to view the almighty Barron Falls.
Allow approximately 20 minutes for each stop.
Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures
Once you’ve arrived at Smithfield Terminal, it’s a 30-minute coach transfer to Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures that will see you arrive at approximately 1:30pm.
Here you’ll have approximately three hours to explore as much of this award-winning Cairns attraction as possible.
You’ll see the prehistoric predator in action during the feeding session and Crocodile Attack Show.
But it’s not just about the crocodiles, you’ll also learn about other revered animals, such as the endangered Cassowary, kangaroos, wallabies, and Australia’s deadly snakes.
Some of the other activities are: crocodile farm show, snake show, wetlands cruise, wallaby and quoll feeding as well as cassowary and koala feeding.
You can even get your photo taken with a koala... great souvenir to take home!
Homeward Bound
At the end of your day you’ll be transferred back to your accommodation at approximately 4:30pm.

Selfie spots: with the rainforest canopy underfoot and panoramic views of the Coral Sea and tropical landscape, a selfie aboard your Skyrail gondola is a must OR a snap aboard the custom-built vessel as you cruise the lagoon at Hartley’s, or with a Cassowary in the background. You’ll see many of our native animals at Hartley’s, so there will be plenty of opportunities for an opportunistic selfie.

REVIEWED
24 August 2019
The 7:30am pick-up from our hotel accommodation was prompt and punctual. However the wait for the train at Freshwater Station was nearly 45 minutes as the train was only scheduled to leave at 8:50am. Since the train tickets already had allocated seating and the souvenir shop there was quite small, we'd wished the pick-up to have been scheduled for a little bit later (as did some other tour operators which we saw arrived at Freshwater Station around 8:25am), allowing us more time for sleep or breakfast on our holiday. Overall it was a highly pleasurable day. Some of our favourite highlights are the Barron Falls, Birdworld, Skyrail and Hartley's Crocodile Adventures. Gordon, who was our driver from Smithfield to Hartley's was very informative about the local history and anecdotes of the places we were travelling through.
