About this tour

See two of Kuranda's standout wildlife attractions in one outing. Spend time with koalas, wallabies and wombats at the Koala Gardens, then step into a rainforest setting at Birdworld to watch lorikeets and cockatoos up close. Both venues sit near Cairns and work well for families wanting a proper look at Australian fauna without heavy hiking.

Highlights

  • Hand-feed or pat koalas in dedicated garden setting
  • Walk amongst wallabies and wombats at ground level
  • Rainforest aviary with free-flying lorikeets and cockatoos
  • Both attractions within walking distance of each other
  • Pram-friendly paths throughout both venues
  • Wildlife photography available as add-on purchase

What to expect

Start at the Koala Gardens where you'll move through landscaped grounds designed to show off Australian marsupials in relaxed conditions. Koalas are the main draw; handlers are on site if you want closer interaction. Wallabies and wombats roam more openly, so sightings are straightforward. Next, head to Birdworld's enclosed rainforest habitat. The setup lets birds fly naturally rather than pace cages, so you'll see genuine behaviour. Lorikeets are loud and active; cockatoos stunning but unpredictable. The whole circuit takes roughly an hour if you move steadily, though most people linger longer.

Good to know

Both attractions are accessible by local bus from central Kuranda. Admission covers entry only; meals, drinks and souvenir photos cost extra. Koala patting and python photos are paid add-ons. Prams are welcome on all pathways. No special fitness or age restrictions.
