An enjoyable day that started with an amazing crew that picked us up promptly from our hotel and entertained us on the trip the train station. Amazing scenery on the way up on the train with a few money shot photos over the bridge and the waterfalls. We were lucky to be allocated to carriage 1 on the way up which gave an amazing view of the length of the train around every corner. Be prepared for fumes through the tunnel. At the top we went on the little boat cruise and saw some amazing turtles and fish, however no crocs around (too warm in February), so a little disappointing. Pretty uneventful trip back - I'm scared of heights, but felt more than comfortable in the skyrail, which gives you two opportunities to hop off and check out the waterfall via glass bottom walkway (I avoided that bit!) and take a walk through the rainforest. Huge rainforest! Great descent at the bottom with a view to the coast. Be prepared for your photo to be taken at the bottom.
Tout s'est bien déroulé, service impeccable, prise à l'hôtel Et retour aussi Le train c'est une jolie expérience, le village s'est très ordinaire mais le retour par gondole c'est vraiment Super Merci
DO NOT BOOK AT Global Travel Services (GTS) !!! We have booked a Kuranda Full Day Trip - Kuranda Train Up, Skyrail Cableway Backtour for 218$ (109$ each), due to weather conditions the Skyrail Cableway Back was cancelled (heavy rain in wet season, not so surprising). GTS representative told us that we will get refund for the Skyrail, which is half of the whole program and ticket price is 55$ per person. WE HAVE RECEIVED 4$ EACH AS A REFUND, WHICH IS CLEARLY A SCAM. The 4$ refund per person is not even 4% of the entire trip. After inquiring about the amount (which we thought was a mistake), they told us that the amount refunded is final and guess what, the price included door to door service and professional guidance (gave us some information on tropical north on the way to the station) and also ticket assistance, which meant that the guy got our tickets from the counter in case of the train (in case of skyrail we had to get our own tickets). So they have provided these “services” for 110$...... All in all GTS took advantage on us and the situation, we were really disappointed in this company, we usually had positive experiences in Australia, except GTS, we really REGRET CHOOSING THEM. Also there is no indication anywhere on their website on the terms and conditions regarding cancellation and refund. We wrote this to make sure everyone is aware and also to emphasize that you are way better of if you take an Uber go to Kuranda station have your tickets to the train, go see the village, head back with Skyrail (or vica versa).
Our day started with our Bus driver and tour guide Stu from GTS he put us in for a great mood to start the trip off. Although it rained all day the train trip up to Kuranda was fantastic, followed by lunch and a walk around town. We took the cableway back home which was also worth doing with a couple of stops on the way to take in more scenery and photo opportunities. Then the bus back with Stu and what a great job he did. Thanks Stu for you commentary all the way back to the hotel.
