Jungle Train & Amphibious Army Duck

OVERVIEW

Go all-out Aussie as you journey aboard the Kuranda Scenic Railway, explore Rainforestation Nature Park, and ride on a WII Army Duck. This truly memorable experience begins with a drive out of town to the Freshwater Railway Station, where you’ll board the heritage Kuranda Scenic Railway for an incredible 90-minute journey, ascending 1,076 feet, passing magnificent waterfalls, transiting 15 tunnels and crossing 40 bridges as you traverse an ancient rainforest reserve. Arriving in colorful Kuranda, you’ll head for Rainforestation nature park to be properly introduced to the jungle’s flora and fauna as your Duck Captain splashes his amphibious vessel along the water’s edge. Don’t be surprised if you see scaly goanna lizards soaking up the sun, a python slithering up a tree or eels swimming around the vessel. You’ll also visit the Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary within the park, where you can wander among kangaroos and wallabies, see crocs and wombats, visit an exciting nocturnal environment, and encounter adorable koalas. After this immersive excursion, you’ll be inspired to protect the rainforest more than ever.
