Overview

Most Kuranda day trips send you home once the markets close. This one keeps going, from a heritage rail journey through Barron Gorge to a full afternoon face to face with saltwater crocodiles.

You board the Kuranda Scenic Railway at Freshwater Station and wind your way up through World Heritage rainforest, past waterfalls and around the Gorge, arriving in Kuranda with time to explore the village markets and boutique shops at your own pace.

At midday you swap the train for a luxury air conditioned coach, tracing the Kuranda Range and the Great Barrier Reef Drive with a local driver guide sharing the stories behind the views. Your next stop is Hartleys Crocodile Adventures, where boardwalks lead you past saltwater crocodiles, a wetlands boat cruise, and wildlife shows including the Crocodile Attack Show and Cassowary feeding.

Refuel with your included lunch voucher at Hartleys Lilies Restaurant before the coach carries you back to Cairns. Explore what a full day in Kuranda really looks like, check availability for your travel dates, and when the timing suits, Book Now.
