Cairns Dagsturer

Great day tour to the Daintree, but I do feel like the itinerary is a bit rush. We got too little time stopping at the Mossman River Creek & Cape Tribulation (I really wished we had more time in those places). On the other hand, I really love the welcome to country ceremony & introduction to local indigenous culture - really eye opening experience. The river cruise and walk thru the rainforest also came with clear introduction & excellent guide.

The overall schedule was well-arranged; it was packed but not too rushed. We took the train up the mountain, and since the Skyrail was under maintenance, we rode a short section of it (still very spectacular) before taking a shuttle bus down. There were many rich and varied activities, including the Kuranda Market, an Aboriginal boomerang and dance performance, and instrument playing. There was also a World War II amphibious vehicle experience. Overall, it was very worthwhile! I also added on the koala holding experience, which was super cute! The tour guide also provided explanations along the way!

We joined the stargazing tour and really enjoyed it. Stargazing depends a lot on luck and weather, so we were very grateful that the conditions were good on the night we went. The experience felt really special because it was so dark at the location that we could only see the silhouettes of the trees, with the distant brightness coming from Cairns city. Lying on a picnic mat under the open sky and looking up at what felt like countless stars was such a peaceful and unforgettable moment. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable, which made the tour even better. He shared useful tips on how to take photos of the stars, lent us his binoculars, and pointed out different stars and constellations, especially Scorpio. He also showed us the Milky Way, which was amazing to see. It was a very meaningful experience and something different from the usual sightseeing activities in Cairns. I recommend it if you enjoy nature, quiet moments, and learning more about the night sky.

Kuranda is a small town. Not as vibrant because not all shops open. Time is quite tight. Nice wildlife park. The 2 kangaroos are very docile and open for closeup photos. There are 2 staffs that came out to share about their animals (Jack and the blue tongue lizard). Boomerang throw is great fun. Highlight is the DUKW tour as the guide/driver shares their wealth of knowledge of the plants in the rainforest. Thumbs up! Great for whole family

Det var flott, turen var ikke stressende, vi hadde god tid til å utforske naturparken for gjenplanting og Kuranda landsby.

Vår dagstur til Kuranda med Klook var en fantastisk og stressfri opplevelse fra start til slutt. Busservicen for henting og levering gjorde hele dagen praktisk og bekymringsfri. Vi elsket Skyrail-opplevelsen, der vi gled over den fantastiske regnskogskronen med utrolig utsikt. Ikke glem å ta stoppene for å utforske regnskogen og utsikten over fossene. Fugleparken var et høydepunkt, og ga muligheten til å se fargerike tropiske fugler på nært hold i Karunda landsby. Togreisen tilbake var hyggelig, og det å lære om jernbanens fascinerende historie ga enda mer verdi. Alt i alt var det en velorganisert og uforglemmelig dagstur.

Our guide, Ian, was an excellent person. He was so patient and had so much information about all the waterfalls.

Vi valgte en halvdagstur med transport fra hotellet til parken. (Det er ingen guiding på stedet, kun transport! Hvis du trenger en detaljert guide, anbefaler vi en annen plan.) Krokodilleshowet var veldig imponerende! I tillegg til krokodiller kunne vi se mange andre dyr som koalaer og kenguruer. Med bare en halv dag måtte vi skynde oss gjennom parken, så det ble litt hektisk.

Både guiden og alle deltakerne var japanske, så jeg tror de som er usikre på engelsk kan delta uten bekymringer! Guiden forklarte alt grundig på hvert sted, tok bilder for oss, og vi hadde det hyggelig med å prate om forskjellige ting underveis. Forresten, kupongen for Kuranda Scenic Railway var en annen enn Klook-kupongen. Guiden ga oss nummeret på dagen, og vi fikk utstedt billettene på stedet, men det var ikke noe som ble sendt på e-post på forhånd, så det kan være lurt å sjekke dette.
