Kuranda Travel Guide
Kuranda accommodation, Kuranda activities and attractions, Kuranda maps, transportation to and around Kuranda - the ALL NEW Jasons Kuranda Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Kuranda.
Kuranda is known as the 'village in the rainforest' and this is a perfect name for this vibrant township perched high on the range overlooking Barron Gorge. Once a summer retreat from the humidity of
Cairns, in the 1970s Kuranda attracted artisans and those seeking an alternative lifestyle and now boasts the biggest and most frequent art and craft markets in tropical
North Queensland.
Its tree-lined streets are now the precinct of eateries, galleries and boutique shops. Getting to Kuranda is a big part of the experience – visitors can travel by road, scenic railway or on the award-winning Skyrail high above the rainforest canopy.
