Description:

In the heart of a UNESCO-designated tropical rainforest, atmospheric Kuranda offers plenty of opportunities to get up close to Australian wildlife. Ride along a scenic railway, tour the forest by land and water in a Duck, and gain insight into the culture of the area's indigenous people.

In Cairns, grab a window seat on the Kuranda Scenic Railway. This historic train chugs over trestle bridges, waterfalls, and deep ravines. Disembark in Kuranda and enjoy a morning at your leisure. Wander the artsy village's colorful market, or check out attractions like the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary.

At the Rainforestation Nature Park, a barbecue lunch of grilled meats, fresh fruit, and delicious salads awaits. The adventure continues on an amphibious, World War II-era Duck vehicle as you explore the flora and fauna of this incredible ecosystem by land and by water.

Make your way to the rainforest amphitheater. The Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience introduces you to Australia's indigenous people and their customs through a traditional dance, music played on the didgeridoo, and hands-on activities like boomerang throwing.

At the Koala and Wildlife Park, follow a guide through various bush habitats as you check out creatures native to the island continent, from the creepy and crawly to the cuddly and cute. Crocodiles laze in the mud, wallabies hop up to greet you, and koalas cling to tree branches.

Finally, climb into a gondola on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway to skim over the forest canopy. This 4.5-mile (7.5-km) ride makes several stops along the way. Hop off to admire the tumbling cascade at Barron Falls Station, and wander the boardwalk on the fern-covered forest floor at Red Peak Station before your return ride to Cairns.
