Reviews
We didn't have much interaction with anyone from the company so can only say that the driver has been very friendly and helpful.
I think the value for money could be improved if we had longer in Kuranda, if you decide to visit one of the wildlife centres or do the boat tour you basically run put of time to do anything else.
I only wish we had more time to look around in Kuranda.
An enjoyable trip on the train and skyrail with fantastic scenery. I walked to the Barron Falls from Kuranda rather than spending time in the village.
It was a wonderful day. We only wish that we had some extra time to spend in Kuranda beyond the visit to Koala Gardens as it did deserve more time.
Hi travstar team thank you for for oganising a great day to kuranda. It was great to be picked up and dropped off at my accommodation by a very helpful bus driver. The connections went very well. Up by the train and down by the skyrail. It would have been good to have had longer at kuranda as i had a ticket to explore three wildlife parks and i only saw two. My friend from scotland did not get a chance to get her photo taken with a koala as the 1.30 appointment was too late. I felt the time on the mountain was too rushed and i would have liked to be there for longer bye vivien.
Best way to view the rain forest
