Kuranda Day Trip/Scenic Railway/Koala Gardens/Skyrail Rainforest Cableway

Описание: Hey friends! In this video, we take you back to Australia where we take a day trip from Cairns to the village of Kuranda. What's so special about Kuranda? Well, the Kuranda Koala Gardens is located there and it is one of the few places in Australia where you can cuddle with a koala bear! We booked our day tour through Down Under Tours. They picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the Kuranda Scenic Railway station. The Kuranda Scenic Railway takes you through the beautiful Barron Gorge National Park to the village of Kuranda. The train ride takes approximately 2 hours with a quick 10 minute stop to view Barron Falls. When you arrive in Kuranda you can either walk to the village or take the free shuttle bus. We had about 3 hours to explore the village. There is a separate entrance fee to enter the Koala Gardens. In the gardens they have an area where you can feed wallabies and kangaroos. There is also a separate charge to cuddle and take a picture with the koala bear. It was a bit pricey but it is definitely a once in a lifetime experience. G3 had difficulty figuring out how to properly hold the koala but he eventually got it! Lol!

We have lunch at the Frog Restaurant where we try an appetizer trio of grilled kangaroo, crocodile, and emu. G3 was brave enough to try it. Does he like it? You'll have to watch and see!

After lunch, we check out the Kuranda Heritage Market and buy souvenirs. We take a walk through the village on our way back to the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is a 7.5 km scenic cableway running above the Barron Gorge National Park. You get amazing views above the rainforest. If you're afraid of heights this ride may not be for you! There are two stations where you can get off and explore a bit of the rainforest but we were pressed for time and had to pass.

If you are ever in Cairns and have a day to spare, we highly recommend you take this tour!
