Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Tropic Wings Cairns Tours, Cairns, Queensland Australia
Start your day with an air-conditioned coach ride up the mountain to the village of Kuranda. The scenic route provides you with incredible views of Cairns and the coast.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Rainforestation Nature Park, Kennedy Highway, Kuranda, Queensland 4872 Australia
Enjoy a visit to the award-winning Rainforestation Nature Park, where you can take a tour on a historic World War II Army Duck over land and through water. The friendly and informative Duck Captains will identify and explain the flora and fauna of some of the world’s oldest rainforest.
Join a guided tour of the Koala and Wildlife Park and see koalas, snakes, dingoes, a cassowary and the only Tasmanian Devils in North Queensland. Learn about their behaviour and quirky traits, as our experienced guides introduce you to each animal. Visit the Barramundi Lake and look out for Jack the Ripper, the 16 foot (5 meter) saltwater crocodile from the safety of elevated boardwalks and platforms. You can see kangaroos and wallabies as they roam freely through the park.
The Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience is unforgettable. Follow your Pamagirri Guide along the Dreamtime Walk down the Rainbow Serpent pathway, and learn how to throw a traditional boomerang. Your Pamagirri guide will demonstrate traditional spear throwing as well as a didgeridoo presentation, followed by an energetic and interactive traditional Aboriginal dance performance in the Rainforest Amphitheatre. The performance depicts aspects of indigenous culture including animals, food gathering and hunting. The rainforest serves as the theatre walls whilst sounds of wildlife provide accompaniment to the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo and clapsticks. Be sure to watch closely - there's a surprise for the audience at the end!

The best tour 5/5!! This Kuranda tour run by Tropic Wings, it is a must to do when you visit Cairns! Everything was so perfect and well organised ❤️ Aussie BBQ lunch was soooooo good and I could not stop eating! All the staff were so precessional and friendly! I and my friends were having the best day! I’ve learned a lot about indigenous culture and their history. This was super educating and I was so blessed to get to know more about them! Butterfly garden and Kuranda market were close to each other and it was so beautiful xxx Amy duck tour was so fun as well! Definitely recommended to all the age group ❤️Cruiser00736173844

We did this tour with some additional extras, entry in the the butterfly sanctuary & an amazing BBQ Lunch. This is a great day out which has something for everyone, a great family adventure that needs to be shared. Thank you to Tineke, Mickey for being our wonderful guides, our coach driver and all the enthusiastic Team from the Rain-forestation Nature Park & the butterfly sanctuary. It was a very wet day but the weather did not dampen this wonderful experience. Well done Tropic Wings Cairns Tours & Coaches.Renee_G

We are from the UK and being able to feed kangaroos was the most amazing experience, and we also fed the cassowary through the fence. Saw a tree kangaroo and took a photo (25$) with a snake! The staff were all very friendly in the park. We also went on the armyduck tour which went on land and water, and Reece the guide of the duck was extremely knowledgeable, and we learnt a lot about the wildlife and saw tiny sea turtles. The aboriginal experience was superb as well , trying to throw a boomerang and watching the dance show. Good variety of things to do. Asif the bus tour guide however was rude when I asked him a couple of questions. Saying ‘ you’re confusing yourself ’ in a condescending tone. The reason I wanted to ask questions was coz when he was telling us the departure times on the bus he wasn’t very clear as there were quite a few times to remember, and he hadn’t mentioned he would give us a timetable with a map which had it all. Apart from that we had a lovely time. We also separately took the cable car and saw the baron falls which was lovelyVince_B

Well organised tour. The pickup from and drop off at the hotel made our life easy!! All drivers were knowledgeable. My favourite: Rainforestation (thanks Chris), Aboriginal Culture and Kuranda village. I wish there was more explanation about aboriginal culture and the significance of the different paint on the body, etc.but overall, excellent tour.christianrC1750AE

Rainforeatation was a great little time and the aqua duck was a top experience . However we booked this trip.to see kuranda for the day as we were there for around 4 hours . The trip was booked by (my holiday) so the day it was on was pre booked. We had no idea that Kuranda is basically closed Tuesday . Almost everything was closed . The famous markets were shut . There was next to no food available besides 2-3 cafes open with basic food. We have been to Kuranda in the past and absolutely loved it. But this time we litrally sat around for almost 4 hours with nothing to do . Even the local pub was closed for food so we couldn't get a decent meal . The lovely hotel staff have told us they have had this problem before with your guides and they have told them numerous times to not being people up on these days as we are unaware . Please be aware of your days that the bus or any travel is taking you up there and just keep that in mind . Other than spending $200+ to sit on a bus for 2hours round trip and in a basically closed town for 4 hours it was good.
