The view from the Skyrail was amazing, and we could see wild kangaroos at the foot of the mountain. We were blessed with good weather, so we could see the plants and trees of the rainforest clearly, and Barron Falls, which was on the way, was also majestic with a lot of water, probably because it was the end of the rainy season. Kuranda is a small and cute town, and it was just the right time to spend time between activities. The Army Duck driver's stories were very enjoyable and the ride went by in a flash. On the way back, the Scenic Railway had some interesting broadcasts about the history and scenery, but we couldn't see much of the scenery, and it was a bit boring during the two-hour ride. The view of Barron Falls also seemed more beautiful from the Skyrail stop. We enjoyed the whole day, so I think it was a good tour. The driver from the local travel agency (Tropic Wings Cairns Tours) was very nice.

The sky ride was amazing, the stop at red peak was very interesting as we had a guided walk through the forest and saw a snake and some big spiders. The waterfall was spectacular. The rainforest station was very enjoyable. The guide on the duck tour was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. The cultural show was very good and we got to try out the boomerang and didgeridoo. Kuranda village itself was a bit disappointing although we had a nice lunch at the waffle cafe. I would advise spending time at the attractions rather than the village itself. Unfortunately the train was not running but we still had a great day and felt that we learnt about the rainforest.

The Skyrail, Kuranda, Rainforestation was okay. I wish I could have spent more time at Barron falls along the Skyrail, but felt rushed to get to Kuranda, especially since I had also purchased a visit to the Australian Butterfly sanctuary in Kuranda. Our visit to Rainforestation nature park was great for the food. The buffet BBQ lunch was delicious! The nature park is somewhat small - a couple of kangaroos roam freely, there's also a mature crocodile and a few other young ones in enclosures. I would have liked to learn more about the Aboriginal culture on show, acknowledgement of country, etc.

Beautiful excursion, especially the skyrail. Incredibly beautiful. Everything has been arranged down to the last detail. No worries.

The scenery was beautiful and I was impressed. The bus stop on the way there was at a different address than the original address, so I'm sorry for making the bus and other passengers wait. But everyone waited without a single complaint, which made me happy. It was a trip that left me impressed by the tour and the people. Thank you.

This is my second time to do the Kuranda Railway and Skyrail, but if you want to go with the Army Duck, it's better to take the tour. Considering the trouble of arranging the Army Duck and the shuttle bus (I'm not sure if you need to make a reservation for the shuttle bus, but I saw some people who couldn't get on), it's better to make a reservation here. However, if you only want the Kuranda Railway and Skyrail, you can make a reservation on the website (when I looked, there were no openings at the time I wanted, probably because it was at the last minute).
The rough schedule was as follows, but it was a fulfilling experience with a little extra time.
07:30 Hotel pick-up
08:50 Kuranda Railway
10:15 Arrive at Kuranda Village, see the koalas or eat a meal
12:15 Move to Rainforestation by shuttle bus
13:00 Army Duck
14:00 Return to Kuranda Village, see the koalas or eat a meal
15:30 Skyrail
16:30 Arrive at Smith Station
17:30 Arrive at hotel

Great experience, commentary and views. Train ride up was magnificent, followed by the army duck and return via sky car. A definite must do. Scott, the army duck driver was funny and informative and made the trip enjoyable.

I would have appreciated the opportunity to take photos of the other vehicle - they moved too quickly to get a decent shot - all up a fabulous day had by all thought and it ran like clockwork. All staff involved were terrific

What a fun day. The tour guide for coach was friendly and welcoming. Transporting us to the sky rail terminal where we again, were met with a warm welcome at each stop. What a beautiful way to experience the amazing beauty of this part of Australia. Hop off at a few spots along the way to embrace nature before making in down into Kuranda village. Cute place. Lots of shops and places to eat and drink. We chose to do an army duck tour of the reforestation site which was also fun. We were then transported back to Kuranda for the train home. Again a beautiful trip but a window seat is a must. You are allocated a seat number so if you don't get one it's kind of too bad. Diesel fumes are strong on the train if you are sensitive to smell. Views are amazing though and plenty of time to see everything on the 90min trip down the mountain. Really enjoyable day.

The Duck Tour was a total waste of money. Just entered the water and went around a dam or man made lake once then out and back to base. Did stop to point out a bird that looked as if it had been strategically placed as the army duck behind us pointed out the same bird. It was a real sham.
