Très belle journée

Superbe journée, les paysages depuis le train et le téléphérique sont incroyables ! Le temps de visite de Kuranda était de moins de 2h mais c'était suffisant. Michael notre chauffeur était à l'heure et très sympathique.

Kuranda

firstly Michael was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the area. The whole experience from the time we were picked up, the train and the sky rail was the most amazing thing I have experienced. It is highly recommended and not to be missed.

Amazing Tour

I'm writing this review on behalf of my parents. They had an amazing time and my parents were very happy with the tour guide. They said that the gentleman was friendly and very helpful. Both my parents are disabled and this tour is perfect for them, it required less walking and they can take their time. They recommended this tour to their friends.
