Nature Tours

There is something magical about catching a glimpse of beauty in the wild; Kuranda offers a number of excursions around and about the village.

Try sampling wild fruits and learn the aboriginal history of their use. Experience an army duck trip, moving through the forest and plunging into the water; there is much of interest to be seen. Putter gently down the Barron River, close to amazing vines and massed ferns high in the ancient trees. Fresh water crocodiles, turtles and an abundance of fish and bird life may be seen.

For the adventurous, a Hummer forest exploration is hard to beat. Many local animals are active at night and Kuranda offers a number of spotlighting adventures. The rainforests of the world were here 140 million years ago, now they are threatened with destruction. Look around you and enjoy what the Kuranda rainforest has to offer; many of the animals and plants you can see and touch live nowhere else on the planet.

Nature tour guides are special people, friendly and approachable. They want you to ask questions and they know where the unique plants and animals are to be found.
