“Wonderful day out. The tour guide (Tommy) was amazing. Very friendly & helpful. If anything we wish we had more time up there to explore Kuranda, it was a beautiful place. Highly recommend the self-guided tour so you can see what you want in your own time.” Emma, New Zealand, May 2025 >> See More Reviews
