About Fitzroy Island and Grand Kuranda

This two-day package gives you the very best of Cairns — the Great Barrier Reef and the World Heritage rainforest — in one seamless, great-value deal. On Day 1, you’ll travel with Sunlover to Fitzroy Island, a tropical treasure just 45 minutes from Cairns. Spend your day snorkelling over coral gardens, relaxing on Nudey Beach, exploring rainforest walking trails, or joining optional activities such as snorkel tours or glass-bottom boat rides.

Fitzroy Island is known for its calm, protected waters and pristine beaches, making it ideal for families, couples, and adventure seekers alike. With plenty of free time on the island, you can enjoy your day at your own pace.

On Day 2, journey into the mountains for the full Grand Kuranda Tour one of Cairns’ most iconic day trips. Glide above the rainforest canopy on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, wander through the village of Kuranda, then continue to Rainforestation Nature Park for the Army Duck rainforest tour, the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience, and wildlife encounters. Finish your day aboard the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway, winding through tunnels, bridges, waterfalls, and breathtaking scenery.

This is the perfect two-day combination for travellers wanting to experience the diversity of Cairns — the ocean, the rainforest, the culture, the wildlife and the landscapes — all in one easy package.
