Many activities to participate in and plenty to see and do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing all arrangements were perfect Especially the bus drivers information and guidance at every poiny
We were kept informed at all stages. Due to industrial action we did the skyrail first & train return. Picked up near hotel & bus driver told us what to expect & where to be for transfers. There is a lot included & for some of the events it seemed not enough time spent there. But to fit it all in that's how it is. A very enjoyable day. Would recommend.
Wow, this was so good and something that was just amazing. Very well planned day and would recommend to anyone, it's must whilst visiting.
We booked this trip through the Viator App and the whole booking process was easy to follow with subsequent communications being excellent. This trip is excellent value for money and will be one of the best trips you will do on your holiday. You get a Skyrail over the rain forest and through the clouds which is amazing, you walk through part of the rain forest, you see the quaint village of Kuranda, you go to the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary which is home to an array of stunning butterflies, you go to the Rainforestation Wildlife Park where you can pet the frendly kangaroos, walk around thr nice Zoo and go on a WWII DUK through the water in the forest, you get to watch an aborigine show and activities as well as trying your hand at throwing a boomerang before returning home on the Kuranda Scenic Railway which is amazing in its own right with beautifull scenery and views of waterfalls. The Bus Driver / Guide for the trip was also very good and explained the itinerary for the day very well. All in all, this is an excellent trip and I would highly recommend it to anybody.
Not bad the skyrail was good Train back was long and tiring Everything at Kuranda was so expensive Again not much area here for prams Try to take food n water
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the Skyrail experience and appreciate your comments regarding the train journey and travelling with a pram. Kuranda’s village layout and heritage areas can be a little challenging in places, but we appreciate you sharing your tips for future travellers as well. Thanks again for travelling with Tropic Wings.
The rain forest tour was good, particularly the army duck tour. This said, Tropic wings couldn’t have chosen a more inappropriate driver. Their driver discussed the itinerary with the enthusiasm of a funeral director. When we asked for a clarification, he was instantly annoyed and scolded us for not studying the piece of paper he had given us. Is this Tropic Wings service model? We and others wasted time wandering around the cableway stations because of his unclear information. Considering the superb service we’ve received across Australia, Tropic Wings is an extreme exception. Kuranda is a good activity, but you need to find a better agency than tropic wings.
The tour was very organized. The lunch was very disappointing. The steak was very tuff. None of the food could be considered BBQ. Mostly Asian food. No dessert.
Tour was very good. Itinerary was well laid out with times to meet for each transfer. Bus transports were on time.
Hi there, Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and found the itinerary smooth and well organised. Making sure transfers run seamlessly and on time is such an important part of the experience, so it’s wonderful to hear that stood out to you. Thanks again for travelling with Tropic Wings!
The sights were amazing as were the aboriginal presentations. We enjoyed the train ride and the cable car journey was an experience. The lunch was disappointing and in need of improvement.
