Popped up to KUR-Cow on a cosy winter Saturday morning for a fun activity (we wanted to try ATV quad biking!). The course was great fun, the instructor, Jennifer was lovely and gave us two options of a more basic route... or a more adventurous option... We took the latter through the creek, stopping to feed the bull and cows (and a baby calf) on the way! After the ATV we stayed for lunch, while it was cooking we got to feed the horses, goats, alpacas and ponies as well as have a look at the bird menagerie. The food was epic! We sat with an incredible view of the rainforest... and some of the best ribs I've had in Cairns (we went for the low n slow lunch as we were there early... But talking to the staff they mentioned better for evening BBQ (they also said they host a sunset view, which I think would be nice, so thinking of driving back again one evening). There aren't any signs, but easy enough to find with Google maps or sat nav, at the junction it top of Kuranda range just follow the road opposite (reverse direction) to Kuranda Village. Overall definitely worth a morning trip, and tempted to go back for a horse ride and sunset BBQ!

We offer an Exotic Fruit Tasting and Orchard Tour every day at 2 pm. There is always ten different tropical fruit on the menu - fruit you have probably never heard of,with names like 'chocolate pudding fruit' and 'creme caramel fruit'.We show you how to prepare and eat the fruit, share interesting stories about the fruit from around the world, and then take you for a walk through the orchard which has more than 2000 fruit trees from the Amazon, Borneo and the Caribbean. This tour is not just a plate of fruit - it offers a special experience which cannot be found anywhere else and is great fun.

Tried several fruits I didn’t even know existed and learned about their growth and history. This was definitely one of the highlights in our trip! Recommended!

Reviewed By WorldTravla7 - Cairns, Australia
I took my mum and dad for a walk to Glacier Rock from the Speewah western approach. It was also my first attempt at getting to Glacier from this route (the most popular being from the carpark at the end of Stoney Creek Road in Kamerunga). The hike involves the following: -Drive up the Kuranda Range and continue until you reach the Speewah exit on the Kennedy Highway (a few kms after the Kuranda village turn off on the left) and drive to Speewah Conservation Park (follow the signs) -Start the track from the carpark – the first section takes you 765m along Djina-Wu track through some beautiful shaded boardwalk and creek crossings -You will then come to the start of the Douglas Track – follow the Douglas Track through beautiful rainforest for 3.75km until you come to the turnoff to Glacier Rock (keep on the Douglas Track and do not turn off onto Gandal Wandun track at the 2km mark) -Head up the track to the top of Glacier Rock (turn right at the sign) which is about 260m uphill after the turn off -Enjoy world class views out over Cairns from the summit before you head back the same way you came -If you have access to 2 cars, you may like to park one car at the Stoney Creek Rd eastern approach and then drive to Speewah so you can come back past Red Bluff (for more spectacular views inc crossing over the Kuranda railway line) and finish at Stoney Creek where you can cool off with a swim at one of the pools on the track up to the Stoney Creek weir This section of Barron Gorge National Park is a cassowary habitat and sightings are possible (we saw several droppings but did not encounter an actual cassowary on this occasion). It is quite a challenging walk but I wouldn’t say strenuous (despite some uphill sections towards the end). It is longer than the Eastern approach from Stoney Creek Rd, but easier in terms of elevation.
