What to expect
You'll start with hotel collection before boarding the scenic train, watching the landscape shift as you climb toward Kuranda. Once arrived, you'll board an oversized amphibious vehicle for a winding forest tour where your guide points out native birds, trees, and creek ecosystems from water level. The Army Duck navigates both land and shallow waterways. After lunch (own cost), ascend by cable car through the canopy on your return journey, offering high perspectives of the rainforest floor below. Throughout, expect wet conditions underfoot and variable weather—the rainforest operates rain or shine.
