"Kuranda Grand CKBB Tour - An Unforgettable Experience The Kuranda Grand CKBB tour was absolutely amazing and hands down one of the best tours I’ve done in Australia. It was perfectly organised and offered such a great mix of culture, wildlife and nature, all in one day. From learning about local Indigenous culture to seeing incredible Australian wildlife up close, every activity felt well thought out and genuinely interesting. The natural scenery around Kuranda is breathtaking - lush rainforest, waterfalls, and viewpoints that really show how special this area is. What I loved most was the variety. You’re not just doing one thing all day - you experience culture, explore nature, and interact with wildlife, which keeps the whole tour exciting and engaging from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and the whole day felt relaxed but still full of highlights. I’d highly recommend the Kuranda Grand CKBB tour to anyone visiting Cairns who wants to experience the very best of the region in one unforgettable trip."
"After spending some time living in Cairns, Kuranda was surprisingly the one place I hadn’t visited yet, and I honestly didn’t expect to feel like I had been missing out this much. The journey itself is already unforgettable, with breathtaking views from the train through the mountains and an incredible perspective over the rainforest canopy from the Skyrail, which really shows how vast and ancient this landscape is. Having access to Rainforestation was also a highlight, as it allows you to learn about Aboriginal culture and understand the origins of the rainforest, adding real depth and meaning to the experience. If you are in Cairns or nearby, Kuranda is truly something you shouldn’t miss, as the combination of spectacular scenery and cultural insight makes it a very special day 🫱🏻🫲🏼🌞"
"I would just like to congratulate Tropic Wings for their exemplary service. From booking through to execution of our Charter all staff involved have been fantastic. We would especially like to raise a mention to PJ our driver, the day would not have flowed so well without you, Thankyou. Good to see that a local company that I have known from growing up in Cairns, still setting the standard for local tourism after all these years. Well done."
