About the Tour

Experience two of Tropical North Queensland’s most iconic attractions across two unforgettable days with the Great Barrier Reef and Kuranda Experience. This exciting package combines a full day exploring the outer Great Barrier Reef with Great Adventures and a second day discovering the rainforest village of Kuranda with Tropic Wings.

Your reef day takes you to the Great Adventures Outer Reef Pontoon, where you can snorkel, relax, enjoy a buffet lunch and experience the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef. Suitable for swimmers and non-swimmers alike, the pontoon offers easy access to the reef with optional activities available including scuba diving and scenic helicopter flights.

On your Kuranda day, journey through the World Heritage-listed rainforest aboard the famous Kuranda Scenic Railway and glide above the rainforest canopy on the spectacular Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. Enjoy free time in Kuranda Village before heading to Rainforestation Nature Park, where you can ride aboard a historic Army Duck, hand-feed kangaroos, meet native wildlife and enjoy the authentic Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience.

This 2-day package is one of the best ways to experience the reef, rainforest, wildlife and culture of Tropical North Queensland without needing accommodation included.
