Itinerary

• Hotel/ Accommodation pickup within Cairns City

  Your day begins with convenient pickup direct from your Cairns hotel/ accomodation in a small-group vehicle, keeping the group personal from the very first minute.

• Kuranda Scenic Railway

  Board this legendary heritage train for a journey through World Heritage-listed rainforest, hand-carved into the mountainside by 19th-century labourers. The line winds past Barron Falls and Barron Gorge, delivering sweeping views of cascading waterfalls and dense jungle canopy. Along the way, your guide shares the railway's remarkable construction history and the ecological significance of the rainforest it passes through.

• Kuranda Village

  Step off the train into Kuranda, Cairns' famous "village in the rainforest." Explore at your own pace — browse the original Kuranda Markets for local crafts and produce, wander artisan galleries showcasing regional artists, and discover authentic Indigenous art and cultural pieces. A relaxed, self-guided stop to shop, snack, or simply soak in the village atmosphere.

• Aussie BBQ Lunch at Rainforestation Nature Park

  Tuck into a hearty Aussie BBQ lunch set within the rainforest grounds of Rainforestation Nature Park, a working conservation and cultural park just outside Kuranda.

• World War II Army Duck Rainforest Tour

  Board an original World War II Army Duck amphibious vehicle for a one-of-a-kind ride through rainforest terrain and jungle waterways inaccessible to conventional vehicles. Your driver-guide points out native flora and explains the UNESCO World Heritage biodiversity value of the surrounding Wet Tropics rainforest - one of the oldest continuously surviving rainforests on Earth.

• Return to Cairns City

  Relax on the drive back as the day winds down, with drop-off back in Cairns City.
