Best of Fitzroy Island and Grand Kuranda – 2 Day Tour

About the Best of Fitzroy Island and Grand Kuranda

The Best of Fitzroy Island and Grand Kuranda Tour is one of the most exciting two-day combinations in Tropical North Queensland, giving you the reef one day and the rainforest the next. It offers everything travellers love most about visiting Cairns  turquoise water, coral reefs, beaches, lush mountains, scenic journeys, wildlife and culture  wrapped into one seamless package.

On Day 1, enjoy a relaxing and adventure-filled day exploring Fitzroy Island. Just 45 minutes from Cairns, this tropical island has it all: sheltered coral reefs perfect for snorkelling, calm beaches, rainforest walking tracks, and friendly island vibes at Foxy’s. You’ll have plenty of free time to explore at your own pace  whether that means relaxing on Nudey Beach, discovering colourful marine life or wandering through the Secret Garden.

On Day 2, switch from reef to rainforest with the full Grand Kuranda Tour. Start with the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, gliding above the ancient canopy with stops for boardwalk lookouts. Explore Kuranda Village, then continue to Rainforestation Nature Park for the Army Duck rainforest tour, Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience, wildlife encounters and more. Finish your day with the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway, winding through tunnels, valleys and waterfalls back to Cairns.

This two-day experience captures the heart of Tropical North Queensland  the reef, the rainforest and everything in between.
