Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not exactly full of enthusiasm of things to promote, rather telling about the things not running, like the SkyRail and Train were closed

We went to get a map so we could walk by the river and as we were looking at the map a member of the team approached us and her fists words were “you are looking at the wrong side of the map”. Well, we weren’t as we wanted the river map not the town centre map and her first words were basically insulting. No attempt to be friendly or helpful just an assumption she knew what we wanted without asking. We have been to Kuranda before so we wanted to do something different but her approach meant we could not ask her advice. Never mind the map did help us even if the staff didn’t.

What a great info center. We got lots of information here and were very thankful for it. I had wanted to see where the flying foxes were and one of the staff told us where to go to see them. Unfortunately the place was closed but we managed to peek through the fence to get a few pix.
There is so much to do and places to see in this area, I wished we'd had another couple days to explore them more.

We enquired about the river cruises, and were told where to go to meet up with them.
They didn’t tell us that they weren’t even running that day, so a bit of a wasted trip.

Good morning. I'm terribly sorry you weren't advised about the correct Riverboat operations. With the current situation sometimes they do cancel at the last minute and we aren't advised in time. I hope you may get the chance to visit us again and this time experience the Riverboat.
Kind regards

A great place to start -The ladies helped us find affordable car hire after experiencing eye wateringly expensive Port Douglas costs. So kind. We left with loads of ideas and confident about where to go and what to do.
Thanks to the volunteers at Kuranda Information Centre. They are a wealth of knowledge. We were so grateful.

Before our visit I rang the centre to check information on the markets. I was told the Original Markets were now open on Monday, but when we arrived some stalls were operating but not many. Likewise many of the shops in Kuranda were closed. When I made a comment in the visitor information centre about this it was dismissed with “well school holidays are over” – which is precisely why we were there at that time. There were plenty of tourists around. I realise that international tourists are missing but domestic tourists are doing their bit and don’t want to be confronted with lots of businesses closed on Monday – perhaps they could stagger the closures.

Thank you for your review. The Original Markets do operate from Thursday to Monday, however some stalls may have chosen to close as the holidays were over. We do not have any control over market operations and can only give out information supplied to us - if some stalls choose to close we are not aware of it. The markets have staggered their trading days with the Heritage markets opening from Wednesday to Sunday.

Visited there today . The staff/volunteers were the rudest couple I have ever met. I know it was 10 to 3pm and there were closing shortly basically they said we couldn't come in then the Man said ok as we only wanted to see the spider, frog etc which was a 2 min visit. Ask the woman about the spider she said she was to busy to be answering question!!!! Tourism has been devastated in Kuranda they way were spoken and treated was deplorable. I do voluntary in an Info booth in another State Of Aust. I know the info area is the place to sell the area. I'm sure the traders would be disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback. We do our best to assist our visitors if they arrive on closing time, however in this instance I understand the volunteers were not able to stay back.

Lovely centre, very helpful lady who gave us a discount voucher for the butterfly garden. Had a nice chat while admiring the cases of stick insects and little tree frogs.
Definitely worth popping in :)
