- MikeFoBrighton, UK1,083 contributionsWell laid out park with a variety of local wildlife, a chance to get up close to different varieties of kangaroos, some birds and a few others, booking koala visit.

- Richard HYorkshire, UK3 contributionsWe visited the Peter Jarver gallery by chance and were not disappointed . The landscape photography on show was stunning, enough for us to purchase one. The best landscape photography we have had the pleasure of viewing, thank you Peter Jarver ! The depth and detail of the photos are stunning .
We cannot wait to have one of Peters works on our living room wall for years of pleasurable viewing .Written 12 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Easy to get parking at Stoney creek and start from there. 6km return, fairly easy track a few steep bits but not that challenging. Worth it once you get to the top and see the views back out over cairns. Have a swim at Stoney creek at the end to cool off.Written 10 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kai CHalf Moon Bay, CA1,269 contributionsWorth visiting, especially if you go by car and have enough time to hike the Kuranda loop (~3 hrs). The skyrail only gives you a few hours, just for a lunch and a stroll. The village is a commercial enterprise, a shopping-eating destination for daily visitors from Cairns; hippies are mostly gone, with a few notable exceptions. When tourists arrive in the late morning the shops open and the place feels normal; after the last train (3:30 PM) it becomes a ghost town. The las bus out is at 4:10 PM, after that - nothing. Lots of birds, look for the australasian figbird.Written 27 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Frances_Mc89Whangarei, New Zealand11 contributionsHad a honey tasting and bought some honey. The shop owners were lovely. Very helpful. They had good knowledge about where you can and can't bring honey I to. A surprising little gem!Written 20 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HeathVentura, CA5 contributionsPlethora of beauty, numerous artists. I later learned of a downtown gallery, but this was a find after arriving on the SkyRail.Written 2 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 0Meg0Brisbane, Australia119 contributionsI came across this gem when strolling through Kuranda. I was impressed by the standard of art in there. The glass jewellery by Catherine Harvey was exquisite. I found a lovely little piece of Encaustic art by Lieselotte Edwards to add to my collection at home. I’m so glad I got to spend some time here.Written 16 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
