100-acre tropical rainforest park near Kuranda combining amphibious Army Duck tours, the Pamagirri Aboriginal cultural experience, and a wildlife park with Southern Cassowaries, saltwater crocodiles, Tasmanian devils, and free-roaming kangaroos.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families seeking Australian wildlife and Indigenous cultural content in a single location. The Army Duck tours are the centrepiece - book early as tour groups take the majority of available spots. Children who engage with hands-on wildlife interactions respond strongly to the free-roaming kangaroos and koala sessions.

βAn awesome experience! My daughter loved it. Free-roaming kangaroos, wallabies, and an opportunity to hold a koala (only legal in QLD). Tony was excellent navigating us via amphibious vehicle throughout the forest. Did you know these were invented and built by WOMEN and are still in working condition 80 years later? We saw the thing we were most terrified of - gympie-gympie. So terrible the name translates to "bad bad." The pamagirri aboriginal experience is also not to be missed. We brought home a boomerang after we learned we were terrible at throwing them, but the connection to this area was great to see. Lunch was fabulous, and we wrapped up our visit with some of their ice cream on the way out.β

βAn absolutely wonderful, gorgeous place. You could see lots of animals there in their natural habitat and get on a tour on an army amphibious vehicle that rides and floats. That was quite an experience! Sometimes we were very cautious when were told about plants that could bite and that pain would stay for weeks, but fortunately, they were pretty far in the rain forest -) The territory is huge and one could quite easily spend a day over there. There is always something to do, something to see, something to learn. Absolutely great place!β

βWas quite a wet day when we went, but thatβs to be expected! Much of the wildlife park was covered and we got to watch a demonstration with a massive crocodile! Lots of cool animals, my favorite were the Tasmanian devils. We rode in the army duck through the rainforest and our guide was a wealth of information! He identified tons of plants and was a lot of fun.β
