Ride in luxury aboard the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway on this ungraded adventure. Your half-day tour begins with a scenic motorcoach drive to Kuranda Village, nestled in the rainforest. Here, enjoy free time to browse among the shops and markets for exotically handcrafted goods and Aboriginal artifacts. Then, hop aboard the Kuranda Scenic Railway and settle into your Gold Class accommodations. The Kuranda Scenic Railway was built from 1886 to 1891 to connect Cairns with the North Queensland goldfields. It's a spectacular journey through the Kuranda Mountains, with magnificent views of Australia's World Heritage Rainforest, steep ravines and picturesque waterfalls, crossing 37 bridges and traveling through 15 tunnels. As you travel, sip sparkling wine and enjoy appetizers taking in the beautiful and dramatic Kuranda Range on the two hour ride. Return to port after this elegant day.
