From the first moment I booked this Tour with Michael the owner/host, until we completed our day trip, we were kept informed all the time of where we would be picked up from, we were sent emails and text's a few days before to check that everything was still on track for us. Michael was very informative, funny and went out of his way to assist my elderly mother. He is very knowledgeable about all things relating to this Region and we couldn't have picked a better tour to visit the Kuranda Scenic Rail and the Skyrail. We would certainly contact Michael again when we are next in the area on holiday!

"While in Australia, visiting this place was a must, and it certainly didn't disappoint. We took the Skyrail and had a lovely day feeding kangaroos, holding a koala, exploring the butterfly atrium and bird aviary. Spending the day shopping and eating made it even more delightful." on the way down stopped to see the amazing waterfall.

This tour was one of the highlights of my Australia trip. Michael was an excellent host, organized, punctual, knowledgeable and efficient. I hadn't originally signed up for the Skyrail portion but Michael suggested I add it in and I'm so glad I did, it was amazing. I've been traveling in Australia for 6 weeks and taken a number of tours. This was the absolute best for value and well worth it. I highly recommend it and Michael is who you want as your guide.

Train delay provided us additional shopping and eating time, which was welcomed. Preferred the Skyrail going up over the train coming down because it had better views.

This is a fabulous way to spend your day when visiting Cairns. We enjoyed Michael's friendly and informative commentary from the bus, the amazing views from the Skyrail and informative ranger talk at the stop along the way. With many attractions in Kuranda the time zooms past - we went to the Butterfly, Koala and Bird enclosures, plus squeezed in a short look around the shops and lunch before heading back down on the scenic railway. Michael met us to take us back afterwards - a great day out.
