Kuranda Day Tours

Kuranda Day Tours generally consist of taking the Kuranda Scenic Railway, a scenic railway traversing through Barron Gorge National Park. Experience one of the most unique rail journeys in Australia. Discovering the living color and natural beauty of a world heritage-listed rain-forest that’s millions of years old. It takes about 2 hours to arrive at Kuranda and the train always stops at Barron Falls lookout where you can disembark the train and enjoy the views for around 15min before the train then continues on into Kuranda Village.

Once in Kuranda you can enjoy the many markets, gardens and rain-forest walks that surround the village. In general 3 hours is enough time to soak up the village atmosphere, find a place for lunch and get ready to catch the Scenic Cable way Skyrail back down the mountain.
