We had a fantastic time with Kuranda Day Tours. David was a terrific host and our trip up to Lake Barrine to walk the 5km circuit track and enjoy their famous Devonshire Tea was the perfect way to get up into the Atherton Tablelands and see some of Cairns beautiful rainforest without sitting on a crowded tour bus. We even got to stop by the ancient Curtain Fig, see a platypus and even spot a Cassowaries up close on the way home. Highly recommend!

My friend and I recently did this fabulous tour to Kuranda Village with Dave. I'm in my late sixties with mobility problems and my friend is in her mid-seventies. We desperately wanted to see Kuranda Village though but needed and wanted a shorter tour that gave us a more personable experience, and we certainly got that with Dave! Dave was such an exceptional and knowledgeable host and we highly recommend him. He was on time, reasonably priced, provided very comfortable transport as well as great, informative commentary throughout the tour which really gave us a much better understanding of Kuranda Village and it's surrounds and people. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, but what really impressed us the most was that Dave truly looked after us. Due to our ages and my disability having that reassuring support and care meant a great deal to us. So, if we know of any family and friends in the future going to Carins etc we will most certainly be recommending Dave and his amazing tour company to them.

We had an amazing experience! We were in Cairns for a few days and couldn’t drive, so we booked him for two full days of driving. He responded quickly, was very transparent, and gave us all the information we needed. Always on time and even prepared with water for us. The car was nice, spacious, clean, and he kept it cool the whole time. He was super cheerful, friendly, and welcoming — he genuinely made our trip so much better. Highly recommended!

David was a pleasure to communicate with. We advised him of our groups wishes and timeframe and he created the perfect Kuranda and area day for us. He responded quickly and while on tour he was very knowledgeable of the sites we visited. Our group of six was picked up right at the cruise ship port and toured in a brand new large vehicle. He even arranged a private guided tour of the rain forest and Barron falls by a local expert. In all a great day, would highly recommend Kuranda tours.

David was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and bent over backwards to accommodate our group of 6. He listened to all our wishes and arranged our day so we could have enough time and enjoy each site. Les was amazing at guiding us through the rainforest with interesting stories of its habitants. I would highly recommend this private tour company. Communication and patience was excellent! Alma from 🇨🇦
