We will return

Sadly our tour was cancelled due to an accident and the road was then closed, our coach captain kept us informed as soon as possible. As we were flying home the next day a refund was promptly given without hesitation and because of that we will return and travel with same company any where else we holiday at a later date. Our daughter did this same trip a few years ago

Loved the day.

Loved the day. Kuranda in a Day was such a great experience and value for money. My only negative feedback is there was not enough time to shop in Kuranda. 2 hours should have been 3 as there were so many amazing shops to visit and trinkets to buy.

Beautiful tour!

Very good

The whole trip was very good especially the staff onboard the boat. We would also recommend you go with the marine biologist for the snorkeling portion of the trip as it was well worth the extra cost.

Great day

What a seamless and tension free experience. Your hospitality has made the trip of our lifetime more memorable.

Posted By Swagata Majumdar Bhattacharya

Very well run

So pleased we had organised this in advance as a guided package (we are from NZ) and it was great having a show and all the extra bits they organised for us. Very well run, one of the highlights of our holiday though initially I had thought it was very expensive, after being there and finding out the info I did it was worthwhile. Would have appreciated more time in Kuranda, the drop offs really only take 10 minutes, we were advised about 20-30 minutes and when we did the train up, skyrail and Tuakpkai all in one day with little kids, that extra time would have been best spent at Kuranda.

Posted By Dianne

Really educational

The Tjapukai experience was really educational for myself and my friends from Finland. Their highlight was boomerang and spear throwing.
