Description
Explore the Kuranda Rainforest on a day trip from Cairns. Ride the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, visit Kuranda Village, watch an Indigenous dance performance, and ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Cairns and head to Smithfield Station. Board the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for a scenic journey to Kuranda, stopping at Red Peak and Barron Falls stations along the way. If you don't have cableway tickets, travel by bus instead.
Upon arrival in Kuranda, explore the village's local markets, arts, crafts, and Indigenous culture. Enjoy free time to wander around, though time may be limited during peak seasons due to transport schedules.
Next, head to Kuranda Rainforest Park for an Indigenous dance performance, boomerang and spear throwing, and a didgeridoo lesson. Ride an amphibious WWII Army Duck and visit the Koala & Wildlife Park. If you've pre-booked a koala encounter, this is where it will take place.
Afterward, choose to spend more free time in Kuranda Village or opt for the Cool Cow Farm Experience. At the farm, enjoy a steak or chicken lunch, interact with Wagyu cattle and other farm animals, and dress up in complimentary cowboy outfits for photos. Receive an exclusive farm bandana as a souvenir. Optional ATV and horseback riding are available at an extra cost.
In the afternoon, board the Kuranda Scenic Railway for a historic train journey downhill, or return by bus if you don't have train tickets. Finally, enjoy a drop-off at your hotel or Cairns Airport, subject to the airport policy.
