After collection from your Cairns accommodation, your driver will check you in for the Kurunda boarding pass, this includes a detailed itinerary, pre-allocated preferential Kurunda scenic railway seating,, Kuranda map and discounted entry vouchers into selected Kurunda attractions.

We start by taking a short drive to the Tjapukai Indigenous centre.

You will be amazed at the views of the tree canopy as you glide silently over the rain forest from the safety of your cable car, a modern day feat of engineering. There are 2 stations along the cable way where you can alight and enjoy a walk through the rain forest to spectacular lookouts out over the forest and to the coast and Great Barrier Reef beyond.

Upon arrival in Kuranda, you have 2 hours free time to do your own exploring. There are the Heritage Markets which operate daily as well as a good selection of restaurants and cafes offering plenty of choices for a mid day meal, as well as many other attractions you can visit if desired.
