You will see where the Australian troops practiced their WW2 D-Day landings right here in Australia.
Then, it’s back to Cairns to enjoy a free afternoon. For those that have selected the full tour package we have an exciting afternoon planned as we will then transport you out to the Cairns Skyrail Rainforest Cableway.
The iconic Skyrail experience is a must do Cairns attraction that provides a truly unique perspective of Australia’s World Heritage listed tropical rainforest – you will be immersed in the sights, sounds, smells and tranquility of one of the most botanically fascinating areas on earth. We will have lunch in Kuranda before jumping on the Kuranda Scenic Railway for the trip back down the range. We will then enjoy a beautiful dinner in town.
