• 5Awesome, one of the best day trips I have been on

  Absolutely Awesome, Chris our guide was amazing. On time pickup and a wonderful host, this was my first time travelling solo to Port Douglas I have been there 9 times before with family. I was made to feel welcome by Chris and the other travelers, a group of 15 who were celebrating a special 70th Birthday. Chris' happy vibe and knowledge of the Port Douglas and surrounding areas made the trip exciting. Not once did I feel left out, Chris was very mindful that I was travelling solo and made me feel very at ease. I only did the Kuranda Markets and Butterfly Sanctuary as my day trip but was happy to go along for the ride to the station and skyrail enjoying a coffee while Chris organized the rest of the group and got them on their way. After spending the day in Kuranda Chris then drove us to Palm Cove for an afternoon cocktail, little did I know the best was yet to come, a sing a long on the way home. To be sitting on a bus with a bunch of people who started out as strangers but by the end of the day were friends singing at the top of our lungs was truly a highlight of my holiday that I will remember always. I have travelled the world and been on many day trips but this one will hold a special place in my heart. I would highly recommend if you are travelling solo or with a group book this tour you wont be sorry. Read more about - Adventure on a Budget Visit Kuranda or Palm Cove from Pt Douglas

• 5Kuranda - train, sky rail, and croc farm

  This was a fantastic excursion with Brett! We added a tour of Hartley’s crocodile farm to the start of our day. It was awesome seeing the crocs, wombats, wallabies and koalas. Next we took the sky rail over the rainforest to the kuranda village. Be sure you make time to see the beautiful birds at Bird World in the village! From there we were taken to the scenic train. You will love the beautiful views and waterfalls along the way back. Last stop was to enjoy a cocktail overlooking the beach at Palm Cove. Brett is awesome! Very fun and knowledgeable! I highly recommend this budget Kuranda tour with all the add ons!!

• 5Warmly recommended !

  We took the budget tour as we already took the train years ago. Brett is a great guy and the trip was easy and fun. Unfortunately the weather was bad but it remained a good experience.

• 5Brett’s Kuranda Day tour

  We had a wonderful day trip with Brett , knowledgeable host and friendly. Good for young children and old alike, try the train ride up and the sky rail back. Leave time for the butterfly enclosure and try the local food shops cafes etc. Beautiful location and an hour out of Port Douglas. Highly recommended

About Port Douglas

Port Douglas is a relaxed seaside town on Queensland's tropical coast, set between the Daintree rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

Port Douglas began as a gold-rush port in the 1870s and is now an easygoing resort town on a spit of land between the Coral Sea and Dickson Inlet. Four Mile Beach curves away to the north fringed with palms, Macrossan Street holds the cafés and restaurants, and Flagstaff Hill gives a view over the beach and the mountains behind. A small white chapel, St Mary's by the Sea, stands beside the park at the water's edge.

Top-ranked sights in Port Douglas: Mossman Gorge, Daintree Rainforest, Agincourt Reefs.
