Australian Butterfly Sanctuary: Self-Guided Audio Tours

If you want to see rare butterflies in their natural surroundings, Kuranda's rainforest habitat is the perfect place. There's a chance to see local species like the green and yellow Cairns birdwing fluttering around freely. See experts at work, breeding butterflies and explaining why caterpillars transform into their next state. Feeders are also spread through the aviary so there are loads of opportunities to get up close to butterflies while they're dining!

Kuranda Koala Gardens is a boutique wildlife attraction located in the world-famous Kuranda rainforest village, Queensland. Grab your Karunda Koala Gardens tickets and explore the home of an amazing array of Australian animals, including wallabies, wombats, quokkas, gliders, and freshwater crocodiles. You can even hold a koala and take home a souvenir photo for an extra cost (paid on-site). The Aussie Bush Collection has a fascinating combination of marsupials and reptiles, all living in harmony together within the exhibit. Many animals are experts in camouflage, so take your time and see if you can spot them all. In the Nocturnal Wonders exhibit, visitors get the rare opportunity to see some night-loving marsupials up close.
