A wonderful day to explore and discover Kuranda - This trip has everything to offer to those who want the rainforest experience. Exploring the majestic and ancient Australian rainforest with its indigenous fauna and flora while being driven in an actual army duck. Our driver was very amusing and gave interesting commentary throughout. The little zoo enclosure is great fun, I especially loved Juliet the wombat and there are a couple of tame wallabies too that provide a great photo opportunity for a close up with them. Our Dreamtime guide enthralled us with their didgeridoo blowing ( my favourite of the day) and spear throwing demonstrations. We all had a go throwing a boomerang and after watched the mesmerising storytelling Pamagirri dancers. Our host Geoff picked us up and drove us to Kuranda village where we spent a the afternoon in the heritage and the hippy markets and popped into the Butterfly Sanctuary and Bird World. After a brilliant day out, Geoff was back again to drop us off at an our hotel. He is very witty and pointed out local places of interest on the way back.

Excellent and well organised. - An excellent experience. Really well organised, with lots of itinerary options that were managed really smoothly. Steve did an amazing job. The Rainforest Station was brilliant and everyone there was very friendly and helpful. The boomerang throwing and dream walk were very interesting, the army duck tour was fun and the animals were very accessible. My daughters and I really enjoyed our day there. Karanda is also very beautiful with lovely markets.

Fun activity - Tropical Winds group is very organized. Fun activity to do with the family. A little bit of everything from petting and feeding wallaby, learning about the culture and was able to throw a boomerang.

Fun excursion - Visiting the Rainforstation, seeing the different wildlife, riding the duck boat through the rainforest, throwing a boomerang, and watching the tribal dance was an incredible experience. At Kuranda Village, it has more vendors than experiences, and very few vendors are opened on Monday or Tuesday. I did visit the Butterfly Sanctuary and enjoyed seeing all the butterflies.

A brilliant day exploring Rainforestation with Tropic Wings !! - A brilliant experience from the time they picked me up at my hotel to when I was dropped off. The driver was super friendly and professional. The itinerary provided for the day was very clear and easy to follow. Rainforestation has a fabulous variety of animals and the Army Duck was a wonderfully unique experience. The Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience was a total highlight, especially to be shown how to throw a boomerang and the performance was awesome. I also visited the Butterfly Sanctuary, such a calm and serene place. I did the butterfly release, a special experience. I was wearing a brightly coloured top and had multiply butterlies rest on my shoulder.

Enjoyable experience for a leisurely day - The Rainforest Aboriginal Park was Great. Wonderful place to visit and see the indigenous peoples lives and animals. The Visit to Kiranda to me was a tourist trap, but a beautiful experience. I loved the butterfly 🦋 exhibit and enjoyed many of the attractions and little shops

Tour was great - - - just don't go to Kuranda on a Monday! - All of the stops were great, until we got to the last stop, which was the village itself. We were give from 1 until 4 pm to look around/shop, however - - - on Monday, most of the shops are closed. We looked in the very few shops that were open, and then just sat in a park for about 2 hours waiting for the bus to come pick us up.

Aboriginal living & Army ducks 👍🤗 - Aboriginal music, dance and weapon was really good. So was driving and sailing with the Army Duck with a clever guide. A very good experience. 🤗

Shady company with shady practices. - I booked this experience through the company's website while in Cairns. They did not list return times. I was up early trying to contact them to ask when they would be returning. They emailed back and forth about late times but uncertain to pinpoint a time due to congested roads and Iron Man. Early on, I requested to cancel and if they would kindly refund the expense because I could not be on a trip that couldn't tell me what time I'd be back in Cairns. I even said a partial; refund would be welcome. They refunded zero and made all kinds of excuses; the manager answered an email a week after the request. Shady business with shady practices.
