Freshwater Station, Cairns, Port Douglas, Australia

Brett\'s Kuranda and Outback Tours

Embark on a scenic train journey from Freshwater aboard the Kuranda Scenic Railway. Journey through lush rainforest, admire waterfalls, and enjoy free time in Kuranda for exploring local craft markets.



After an early morning pickup, guests will embark upon a journey that combines relaxation with educational insights. Departing from the Northern Beaches area, travelers will traverse the Captain Cook Highway, renowned as Australia's second-most scenic route, offering panoramic vistas into the region's rich history and diverse wildlife.

Upon reaching the charming Freshwater Station, passengers will board the Kuranda Scenic Railway, a historic marvel that winds through lush rainforests. Along this route, visitors will marvel at awe-inspiring waterfalls and 15 dramatic tunnels carved by nature's hand, creating a visual feast for the eyes.

Arriving in Kuranda, guests can immerse themselves in the vibrant 'Village in the Rainforest,' famous for its eclectic array of arts and crafts markets open daily. Here, they can indulge in a variety of artisanal products, including handcrafted leather goods, wooden creations, and unique jewelry made by skilled artisans.

For lunch, travelers have the option to dine at one of the numerous cafes, enjoying live music performances while savoring delectable treats like macadamia nuts, honey, mango wines, homemade sweets, or scrumptious homemade ice cream.

Continuing their adventure, guests will ascend the coastal landscape towards Palm Cove, where a stroll along the palm-lined promenade promises stunning sea views. Alternatively, they may choose to unwind with a refreshing beverage, perhaps accompanied by a leisurely stroll along the beachfront.

Upon returning to Port Douglas, guests will be greeted warmly by newfound companions and cherished memories. They will then be escorted to their preferred accommodation or dining establishment, ready to continue exploring the wonders of Queensland's coastline.
