The day started with our punctual pick up by Agostino in his luxurious Mercedes van and a short trip to Thala Beach Lodge for a delicious breakfast overlooking the Coral Sea.
Then the drive to Barron Falls. The van has all the comforts and Agostino is a great host. The walk around Kuranda village was fun with lunch if we’d chosen to. The Skyrail was fantastic and definitely worth the trip. Agostino met us at the bottom of the range offering us some lovely treats for our trip back to Port Douglas.
The whole trip was fantastic and flexible if you have any preferences.
I cannot recommend using Port Douglas Luxe tours more highly.
