Transfers left something to be desired
I was called to Chang my location pick up while I was shopping at a mall. As I am a foreigner I am not familiar with the city. I suggested several option and was told I could not choose them. I did not have access to the internet and was unable to see where they suggested. After getting off the bus I made several wrong turns but still go to the pick up point. I was the only passenger and asked the driver since I was his only pick up and he said I had to check with the office. There was to be a bus to shuttle you up the hill when you arrived. The shuttle was just turning around when I arrived I attempted to flag him down walked in front o the bus to the side door and he took off without me even though I was wearing leg braces.

Sorry to hear your missed shuttle bus, but it departs from in front of the stations every 10-15 minutes. Although it is a GTS bus, the departure times are dictated by the stakeholders of the free shuttle service. The bus would have returned to your location approximately 10 minutes later.

A scenic, peaceful, unique experience for all ages
I enjoyed this tour so much with my adult daughter that I plan to return with my husband and recommend it to my other adult children and friends. It poured rain all day and it didn’t dampen the experience of riding the Kuranda scenic railway or the skyrail. Lush green rainforest and cosy cafes, cute boutique shops and market stalls made for an interesting day. The day was full but at your own pace; I could’ve stayed for even longer. Highly recommended tour; excellent bus tour guide at the beginning of the day and great commentary.
