Enjoy a leisurely start to the day with a pickup time of around 8:20am from your hotel.  Your coach which will transfer you to the delightful Freshwater Railway Station.

You will board the famous historic Kuranda Scenic Rail at 9:45am for your experience through some of the oldest rainforest in the world to Kuranda.

The train journey will take you through 15 hand carved tunnels, across the giant bridge over Stoney Creek, and will stop at Barron Gorge Observation Deck for photographs.

Upon arrival in Kuranda, the day is yours to experience the charm and colour of the "Village in the Rainforest", including the Heritage Markets with many stalls and shops. The markets operate 7 days a week, giving you the opportunity to sample and experience much of the local art and handicraft.

Your rainforest experience ends at Caravonica Lakes where your coach is waiting to transfer you back to your accommodation at either 3:00pm or 4:40pm.

This trip can be taken in reverse order by taking the Skyrail to Kuranda first, and then returning by Scenic Rail.

Testimonial
"Kurunda was spectacular - even though we had showers and the view from the Skyrail was limited - it was actually eerie going through the fog!  That was a good day.  The tour operator, Down Under Tours were good - looked after their clients and everything ran smoothly." Marlene Galea - Australia
