Welcome to Kuranda
The picturesque mountain retreat of Kuranda Village is just 25km northwest of Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia.
Surrounded by World Heritage Rainforest, 1,000 feet above Cairns, lies the picturesque village of Kuranda. The journey to Kuranda is an experience in itself. You can take a gentle drive up through the rainforest, float above the trees aboard Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, or catch the world famous Kuranda Scenic Railway. But however you decide to arrive, make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to discover everything the village has to offer. There’s the famous arts and craft markets, river cruise, ATV quad biking and rainforest walks, and an abundance of wildlife experiences, tours and attractions.
Browse through the quaint village shops for vibrant had crafted silk and cotton clothing, exclusive jewellery, locally made Aboriginal artwork, gifts and more. Then stop for a coffee or lunch at one of Kuranda’s many restaurants and cafes, where outdoor dining is one of the joys of our cooler mountain climate. Kuranda is a delightful mix of quirky surprises, colourful characters and natural beauty, perched at the top of a rainforest clad mountain. Come for a day, or stay for the weekend, and take a stroll through our beautiful village in the rainforest.
About Kuranda Tourism
Kuranda is well known as the Village in the Rainforest and has been attracting visitors for well over a century. Initially people came to admire the mighty Barron Falls, while artisans were attracted to the region’s natural beauty and decided to call it home, creating a vibrant arts and craft culture.
Today people flock to this tiny village, seven days a week, to enjoy both of these things, the stunning natural beauty and the relaxed atmosphere of the local market selling unique souvenirs and gift items. Tourism Kuranda invites you to spend some time enjoying the many things to see and do in this little piece of paradise.
