In a nutshell

Discover the living colour and natural beauty of a rainforest that’s millions of years old.

Far North Queensland’s World Heritage-listed rainforest, the Wet Tropics, are among the oldest on earth. Thousands of species of plants and hundreds of unique creatures inhabit this lush green world. Rising from sea level to 327 metres, the journey to Kuranda passes spectacular waterfalls and into the stunning Barron Gorge.

Australia’s Indigenous culture is one of the oldest surviving cultures in the world and Rainforestation Nature Park recognises the importance of preserving and sharing this unique culture. Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience won a 2019 Queensland Tourism Award in gold for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Tourism. You will learn about the fascinating customs and ancient traditions that are kept alive in the rainforest of Kuranda.
