Valid on selected date.

Discover one of the most relaxing ways to experience Kuranda on the Kuranda Riverboat Tour, a tranquil 45-minute calm water cruise on the Barron River aboard the MV Kuranda. Gliding through the Wet Tropics, the cruise takes you into the world's most ancient tropical rainforest, giving you a wonderful opportunity to see its glorious flora and fauna up close while you listen to commentary on the history of Kuranda. The river is home to a host of wildlife, including freshwater crocodiles, turtles, snakes, fish and birds, and occasionally a wild cassowary may be spotted on the edge of the rainforest by the riverbank. As these are wild creatures living in their natural habitat, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Cruises depart from the riverside jetty below Kuranda Railway Station, over the railway footbridge and down the stairs, so the tour fits easily into a day in Kuranda whether you arrive by bus, hire car, Skyrail Rainforest Cableway or the Kuranda Scenic Railway.
