Set out by motorcoach, crossing the Barron River and ascending the lush rain forest slopes of the Kuranda Range. Views of Cairns, the surrounding cane fields, and the Coral Sea sprawl northwards.
You're headed to Kuranda village -- a delightful panoramic drive that sets the tone for the great scenery and relaxing atmosphere of the hinterland. You will have some time in charming Kuranda to explore and to shop in the colorful and inviting boutique stores.
Then, board a premium, themed Gold-Class carriage on the very famous and incredibly scenic Kuranda Scenic Railway. You will travel in comfort through 15 tunnels and across 37 bridges with scenery of sheer cliff-faces. Take in panoramic views of the Coral Sea and across Trinity Bay to Green Island, with Cairns in the foreground surrounded by sugar plantations. A taste of the tropics -- appetizers and sparkling wine or beer -- is served on the nearly two-hour train ride.
Your tour concludes with a transfer back to Cairns.
Please note: Bring cash or credit cards for additional purchases. Wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing suited to the day's conditions. Bring a hat, adequate sun protection and insect repellent. Sequence of tour stops may vary. Tour does not operate on Holidays.
