Firstly, Glen was a super guide - on time, friendly, funny, informative, and helpful. Brett, you should pay him more (and he didn’t ask us to write that!😬). We were picked up at our Palm Cove accommodation for the 20-minute drive to the Freshwater train station where we took the 90-minute trip to Kuranda. The old but beautifully restored train carriages were comfortable and the views along the way were breathtaking. The narrative during the trip was interesting and informative. We tried to upgrade to gold service at the station but it was booked out well in advance, so if you want that service, as Brett's to book ahead. We had two hours in Kuranda before Glen took us to the skyrail station for the return down the mountain. Again, there were beautiful views and a chance to get out of the cable car briefly at two stops for sightseeing. Glen met at the skyrail station and drove us back to our lodging. We were picked up in the morning at 9:00 AM and returned to our accommodation at around 3:15 PM. The cost was $210 per person and was well worth it. The gold class trip on the train costs an extra $55 per person above what's included with the tour package, and you can also get a cable car with a glass floor for a bit extra (don't know how much). This was a wonderful experience.

What a beautiful day we had, a group of 20 people led by Chris in various places, visiting the forest in an army duck, a WW2 amphibious vehicle this part replaced the train which was broken down but we did not lose at change😁., the koala wildlife park, the pretty village of kuranda we were able to have lunch and stroll through the different small markets and stores there, then departure for the skyrail cable car to Smithfield which with its 2 stops in magnificent places including the very impressive Barron Falls waterfalls allow you to take wonderful photos and memories of this Australian region.
Chris provided us with lots of explanations and always made sure the group was complete.

The only negative comment concerns the park where the animals do not have much space, particularly the kangaroos, but Brett's Kuranda is not responsible for this.

Thank you for this day, I recommend

This was a shore excursion. Enjoyed the sky train , Kuranda forest , Butterfly. You get to see alot on a shore excursion day. Well organized. Lunch on our own in Kuranda. The big highlight is actually the UNESCO rainforest. This sky train you can see how immense and how deep the rainforest is. Several waterfalls. Make sure you bring a hat and bring your sunscreen. At the top of the sky train you could see the port and the ocean. Beautiful!

We had a great trip to Kuranda with Brett's Tours! It was our last day in Cairns and we were desperate to do the train and skyrail however they wouldn't allow us to leave our baggage at the train station so we thought we may have to miss out. Brett and his team stepped up to help us out stored our bags for us and sorted the whole trip out. We can't thank you enough and we had such a good time on our last tour before heading back to the UK.

We loved the sky rail and enjoyed our short walk around the rainforest. Then we headed over to Kuranda Village. We had originally intended to go to Koala Gardens but we arrived late and we missed our reservation time. That can happen so we just strolled around the village instead. It was nice but not what I expected. I thought it would be a lot of homemade goods but it was a lot of shops and food to go places. Then we went on the train ride which was very cool, through the rainforest. It was very informative but also very long.
