    Our family thoroughly enjoyed this trip; it offered great value for money and was exceptionally well-organized. The highlights were riding the Skyrail and returning via the Scenic Railway. Activites at Rainforestation was excellent, featuring the Army Duck, indigenous dancing, and a zoo visit with a great lunch. The delicious lunch and the memorable photo with a koala made the day truly special

    Train and Skyrail. One thing that can be improved- please add the bus service to the itinerary who will be picking customers up first the Army duck as we thought it was down under tours so we missed the activity and had to go later. If we had known who we were travelling with we would have been on time as we were waiting for an hour.

    Great experience riding up on the scenic railway in the morning and returning on the sky rail with a view of cairns and the ocean. The Rainforestation tour was enjoyed to see the various animals and veregation during the army duck ride. Thanks for an awesome day for our family.
