Kuranda Village

Kuranda Village sits on Coondoo Street in Kuranda, the charming rainforest village in the hills above Cairns in tropical-north Queensland. A much-loved tourist destination, it's a genuine highlight of the region — a delightful village set amid World Heritage rainforest, famous for its markets, galleries, shops, wildlife attractions and the iconic Scenic Railway and Skyrail that bring visitors up from Cairns.

The appeal is that combination of a charming village atmosphere and a wealth of things to see and do: the famous Kuranda markets, the arts-and-crafts shops and galleries, the wildlife attractions and the surrounding rainforest, all reached via the spectacular railway or Skyrail. It's a brilliant day out for families and visitors, immersed in the beauty of the tropical-north rainforest.

With a 4.3 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved destination. The markets, shops, attractions, opening hours and the railway and Skyrail schedules all vary, so it's worth checking current details and planning ahead before you go — particularly the market days and transport options — then enjoying the village and the rainforest at Kuranda.
