Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Rainforestation Nature Park, Kennedy Highway, Kuranda, Queensland 4872 Australia
Enjoy a visit to the award-winning Rainforestation Nature Park, where you can take a tour on a historic World War II Army Duck over land and through water. The friendly and informative Duck Captains will identify and explain the flora and fauna of some of the world’s oldest rainforest.
Join a guided tour of the Koala and Wildlife Park and see koalas, snakes, dingoes, a cassowary and the only Tasmanian Devils in North Queensland. Learn about their behaviour and quirky traits, as our experienced guides introduce you to each animal. Visit the Barramundi Lake and look out for Jack the Ripper, the 16 foot (5 meter) saltwater crocodile from the safety of elevated boardwalks and platforms. You can see kangaroos and wallabies as they roam freely through the park.
The Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience is unforgettable. Follow your Pamagirri Guide along the Dreamtime Walk down the Rainbow Serpent pathway, and learn how to throw a traditional boomerang. Your Pamagirri guide will demonstrate traditional spear throwing as well as a didgeridoo presentation, followed by an energetic and interactive traditional Aboriginal dance performance in the Rainforest Amphitheatre. The performance depicts aspects of indigenous culture including animals, food gathering and hunting. The rainforest serves as the theatre walls whilst sounds of wildlife provide accompaniment to the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo and clapsticks. Be sure to watch closely - there's a surprise for the audience at the end!

The first part of the experience was amazing, seeing the animals, trying the boomerang and the aboriginal dance was all unique but the kuranda village shops close at 3/3:30 and pick up was at 4 so we waited for a whole hour doing nothing waiting around. Otherwise amazing morning experience as i said and amazing guides along the way. The driver was knowledgeable and kind.

Loved seeing all of the wildlife, especially the Koalas!!! Holding one was a life long g dream. It did not disappoint, however, if not good for Koalas, I say don’t allow humans contact as they are such wonderful animals! Loved learning from aborigines as well. What a wonderful day! Highly recommend! Bb

The Rainforestation was fantastic! Plenty of wildlife to see and the cultural aspect was excellent. I cannot throw a boomerang sadly.
Kuranda Market is CLOSED on Mon and Tues and the river walk was also closed. There were shops in Kuranda City Center open. Lunch places all seemed to close early presumably because there were less crowds. I wish there was something that said the markets were closed as I would’ve reconsidered.

What an amazing day out from start to finish. There was so much included in this trip, I would recommend for any age.
From start to finish I couldn't take the smile off my face. I did the grand kuranda and I could not fault it one bit for everything we did that day. One if the best trips I've ever did. the food was amazing too.

Fun and informative tour. Kylie was so helpful and assisted us last minute to changes to our tour to add the skyrail and train. Bus driver Ahsit was very helpful with all the changes. The tour was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and everything that was included.

Really enjoyed this tour, however, we went on a Friday when the sky rain and train wasn't operating which meant over half the shops in Kuranda didn't open as a result and we left earlier than a tour normally would. This did put a slight damper on the day as we weren't expecting it.

The morning activities were fun and well done. I always love being with and seeing animals here as well. As we chose not to visit the Butterfly Sanctuary or the 2 other animal options in the afternoon in Kuranda village, that period was too long. The extended market is basically left-over hippie style.

There are better places and trips than this. The name was confusing for me and disappointment because everything is called wildlife... It says here in the description of the wildlife park,but you are really only in one park (general- Rainforest) where you are are 3 section, there are fewer animals - you are done with the tour in 10 minutes, in my case it was pouring rain so the animals were mostly hidden. The only good thing is the opportunity to interact and feed the kangaroos, which is not everywhere. Yes, there is an extra performance from the aborigines and a duck ride. Experience the duck is interesting , but I wasn't impressed with the trees around as I expected,no photo shoot and wow effect didn't happen. The quality of the koala photos is also not top (extra paid-the photos are not flattering and the camera is not set up very well, I used to work on a photo booth myself and this would not pass well with my customers). Then when they take you to the Kuranda village, that's not exactly an experience either,a few shops that you can find anywhere else, no charming. To make some use of the time, I paid extra for admission to the Wildlife park there. The driver was pleasant, he just arrived in the morning about 25 min late so I was totally soaked through and feel cold (heavy rain that day) and also ended up leaving half an hour early.

We loved seeing, petting, and feeding the many kangaroos who were hopping around the facility. Also loved the koalas, and the opportunity to hold one, and have a photo taken with him.
The boomerang throw was a highlight, as well as the spear throwing, and the Aborigine dancing and music!
