Kuranda
Head to the hills to explore a vibrant rainforest village.
Overview
Take the Kuranda Scenic Railway or drive 30 minutes inland from Cairns to visit the eclectic rainforest village of Kuranda. Here you'll find a plethora of artists and street performers roaming around town as you explore the town's quirky art shops and market stalls. If you're lucky, you might even be able to catch a live show at the much-loved Kuranda Amphitheatre.
Also in Kuranda is the Rainforestation Nature Park showcasing the very best of the tropics. Want to gain in depth knowledge of the region? We recommend taking a guided walk with the Traditional Custodians of the land, the Djabugay People, via the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience.
