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.

What travellers are saying
- Karyn SGlasgow, UK39 contributionsThis is a lovely place to visit, very relaxing. I recommend just taking some time to slow down her and take note of the beauty around you.Written 17 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karyn SGlasgow, UK39 contributionsBaron falls are lovely, the best view was from the skyrail boardwalk. I also walked the trail up the other side and highly recommend it as it is a beautiful forest trail with no-one on it and more chance to glimpse some wildlife (only takes an hour). Spending some time at the top and reading the information and walking the boardwalk are also really worth it.Written 17 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MikeFoBrighton, UK1,101 contributionsWell laid out park with a variety of local wildlife, a chance to get up close to different varieties of kangaroos, some birds and a few others, booking koala visit. Nice cafe too.Written 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- margiel88559 contributionsIf you love birds this is the place to go. Plenty of birds to see. The birds will take your earrings or anything sparkly.

- John BSydney, Australia89 contributionsWe used the Skyrail to get up to Kuranda and the markets. This is a spectacular trip. Do get off at the two stops to looks at the canopy in detail.
We did not use the free Ranger tours. But the Audio did work a bit. So it is worth downloading the app as you wait for your Cable Car. If you are going to go the the "Old" Markets ensure you allow all day. We didnt even get time to see the Koala or Butterfly reserves at Kuranda.Written 14 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Without charging extra, the staff vacuum sealed my honey to take back home on the plane with me. Very kind!!Written 23 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Granules2013Darwin, Australia1,953 contributionsGreat hike to complete over a few hours in the early morning or late arvo. Easy to get parking at Stoney creek and start from there. 6km return, fairly easy track a few steep bits but not that challenging. Worth it once you get to the top and see the views back out over cairns. Have a swim at Stoney creek at the end to cool off.Written 10 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Richard HYorkshire, UK3 contributionsWe visited the Peter Jarver gallery by chance and were not disappointed . The landscape photography on show was stunning, enough for us to purchase one. The best landscape photography we have had the pleasure of viewing, thank you Peter Jarver ! The depth and detail of the photos are stunning .
We cannot wait to have one of Peters works on our living room wall for years of pleasurable viewing .Written 12 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
