Kuranda, just 25km northwest of Cairns, is a vibrant village nestled in the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics rainforest. Renowned for its colourful charm, Kuranda offers daily markets and a quaint main street filled with unique shops, galleries, and local crafts. It’s the arts and crafts hub of Tropical North Queensland, drawing visitors from around the globe. The village is easily accessible via the iconic Skyrail Rainforest Cableway or the Kuranda Scenic Railway, making it a must-visit destination. Its cool mountain climate is perfect for exploring lush rainforest trails along the Barron River or meandering through the village, where giant fig trees provide a haven for fig birds, parrots, and other vibrant wildlife. Nature enthusiasts can venture to Barron Gorge National Park, offering breathtaking views and walks ranging from short strolls to more challenging hikes. Barron Falls, a spectacular waterfall driving a hydro-electric station, is a highlight reachable by a scenic drive or shuttle bus through verdant rainforest. Kuranda also provides enriching cultural experiences, from galleries featuring Indigenous art to opportunities to learn about Aboriginal heritage or try playing the didgeridoo. Families and wildlife lovers will enjoy the interactive exhibits showcasing butterflies, birds, koalas, bats, and more, offering unforgettable encounters with Australia’s unique creatures.
