You’ll encounter a wide range of Australian wildlife, including koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, dingoes, cassowaries, and the only Tasmanian Devils in North Queensland. There are also opportunities to hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies. However this is mainly seen at the attractions found up in Kuranda such as Birdworld, Koala Gardens and The Butterly Sanctionary.
The Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience is an interactive cultural presentation where you’ll learn how to throw a boomerang and traditional spear, enjoy a didgeridoo demonstration, and watch a powerful traditional Aboriginal dance performance.
The SKyrai and Train both have their pros and cons. Everyone has their own opinion which is better. Our advice? Travel on both the Skyrail and Train with bus transfers. This also allows you free time in the village to explore and do any sought after activities.

Shout out to Max for his guidance! He listened to my requirements and helped me figure out what I really wanted, and he explained the options in depth. With his help, I was able to have a fun day combining a flight over the reef with an excursion to Fitzroy island. All bookings went smooth. Great service!Posted on Google![]()

So happy with the service and help I received from these guys, huge shout out to Tony ( absolute legend ) for helping me with all my questions and two bookings- fishing charter and 2 intro dives + snorkel with Divers den. I did a whale watching tour in Sydney, and then came here and while heading to the reef for the dive, we got to see a humpback whale breach the water at least a dozen times ! The first breach from this whale in cairns, would have beaten the whole tour in Sydney and it was an entire seperate experience as well (dive). Absolutely 1000% recommend these guys and any of their recommendations and advice when planning your trip and activities in cairns.Posted on Google![]()
