Discover wildlife and wonders of the world's most ancient tropical rainforest on the fascinating 45 minute Kuranda Riverboat cruise!
Put on your explorer hat as we take you on a journey to discover the history, river life, and wonders of the Wet Tropics World Heritage rainforest in Kuranda.
If you are a lover of nature and wildlife, this is the tour for you! The Barron River is home to a wide range of native wildlife, including freshwater turtles, snakes, water dragons, and fish - plus over 100 species of tropical birds, cassowaries, and of course - freshwater crocodiles!
The 45-minute tour takes place aboard the MV Kuranda, where you will cruise through the tranquil waters along the Barron River in Kuranda. The relaxing pace and beautiful scenery provide amazing photo
opportunities, while your skipper provides interesting commentary about the ancient rainforest and its native animals, reptiles, and birds, plus an insight into the history of Kuranda.
This is a fantastic way to see the Rainforest from a different perspective and witness the amazing wildlife, including the infamous freshwater crocodiles in their natural element!
Thank you over much Lynda for your review. Glad you enjoyed the cruise.
Great
Thanks very much Jeanette for your review.
Nice river cruise, only saw one crocodile but saw fish, turtles and different birds. Lovely cruising down the river for 45 minutes.
Thank you very much Dianne for your lovely review.
Unfortunately it was a very boring boat trip. The driver/guide did not show us any wildlife and we left a few mins late and arrived back early. Very dissappointing.
I contacted you directly after receiving this review. Less than a week later this region was hit by a catastrophic flood which saw us unable to operate our business until July 2024. The boat skipper who wasn't doing his job correctly when you took a cruise is no longer working for our business. Apologies again for your bad experience.
Not sure if you took one of our cruises but I am glad you enjoyed your day in Kuranda.
