Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
The River Walk sits in Kuranda, the lovely village in the rainforest above Cairns in Tropical North Queensland, along the Barron River. With 9 reviews behind its 4.1 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a beautiful walk through the rainforest by the river — a river walk with lovely water, greenery and lovely surrounds, a genuine favourite for a walk, some birdlife, a photo and connecting with nature while you explore the charming, market-famous Kuranda village. It's a lovely, free outing.
Riverside tracks have changing conditions and seasonal considerations — river levels can rise after rain — so check current details and any advisories before you set out. Bring water, sun protection, insect repellent and comfortable shoes.
