    Schöner Ausflug

    Ich bin mit einem Bus direkt nach Kuranda gefahren worden (alternativ kann man auch mit dem Zug oder dem Skyrail nach oben fahren) und habe dann vier Stunden in Kuranda verbracht. Das Dorf ist sehr hübsch mit vielen Märkten zum stöbern. Ich war bei den Rainforest Markets und den Heritage Markets ( dort in der Nähe kann man sich auch ein Flugzeugwrack anschauen das fand ich auch ganz interessant). Danach bin ich noch in die Koala Gardens ( Eintritt 19$), was ich auch super fand. Dort gab es wie der Name schon sagt Koalas, die man auch für einen Aufpreis auf den Arm nehmen konnte ( was ich nicht gemacht habe da mir es etwas zu teuer war). Zudem gibt es dort Krokodile, Wallabies, Quokkas, Wombats und einige Reptilien wie zum Beispiel Schlangen ( die kann man auch auf den Arm nehmen). Mein Highlight waren auf jeden Fall die Wallabies, die man kostenlos streicheln und füttern konnte! Neben den Koala Gardens gibt es in Kuranda auch noch eine Vogelwelt und ein Schmetterlingsgarten. Den Rückweg habe ich mit der Skyrail bestritten, von dort hat man einen wirklich tollen Ausblick. Die Skyrail hat außerdem zwei Stationen bei denen man aussteigen kann (Red Peak Station und Barron Falls Station), bei denen man ein kurzen Dpaziegang durch den Regenwald machen kann und sich die Barron Falls anschauen kann. (One way Skayrail kostet 53$) Unten an der Smithfield Station wurde ich dann wieder von meinem Busfahrer empfangen, der mich auch schon nach Kuranda gebracht hatte. Er war sehr nett und hat auf dem Hinweg einige Fakten über Kuranda, die Railway Station und die Skayrail erzählt. Ich kann den Trip nur empfehlen!

    Skyrail is beautiful, but a tour unnecessary

    Kuranda Skyrail was a great trip, not sure I would recommend doing it as a tour and I don't know if you need to spend 3 hours at the top in Kuranda. We had ample time throughout the day to do a loop walk around Kuranda and get off at each stop along the skyrail. The rainforest is absolutely beautiful, I would just suggest really reading itineraries to see if the tour suits you.

    Kuranda day trip

    We went up on the bus and back by Sky rail. This gave us enough time to do 2 short walks through the rainforest, explore the many shops and markets and have lunch. Our bus driver Stu was fantastic, lots of interesting information, friendly and professional . We would highly recommend this tour service. The sky rail back was a highlight in every way.

    Fun day, with little disappointments

    First, the driver picks us up, he was very nice and knowledgeable so the way to go there went well! We did the Koala gardens and Birdworld in Kuranda Village which was the great highlights or our day. On the way back, we took the skyrail. We were told the whole thing lasted about an hour and a half and that we didn’t have time to come out at the two lookouts if we departed at the time indicated on our tickets, so we stayed in for the ride, but got down an hour prior to the bus pickup as the skyrail ride only lasted 45 minutes, so that was a little disappointing. Also, we had read in the description that it was a good activity to do on a rainy day but we didn’t see that much in the skyrail as it was very foggy. So good experience overall, even though some parts were a little disappointing.
