Kuranda — Rainforest Village in the Sky

Just 25 kilometres from Cairns, the village of Kuranda sits in the heart of World Heritage-listed rainforest — yet it feels a world away. Reached by the iconic Skyrail Rainforest Cableway or the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway, getting here is an experience in itself.

Once in the village, you'll discover ancient rainforest walks, wildlife encounters with koalas and crocodiles, the world's largest butterfly sanctuary, and a living connection to the Djabugay people through the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience.
