We spent about an hour there. We spent the rest of the day checking out the markets, cafe's and various shops. The train ride back to Cairns was slow, scenic, and comfortable with an informative guide who gives an interesting commentary on this historical journey. There are some awesome views down through the valley, and you get the feeling you are in a time warp. There are also plenty of tunnels to entertain the children.
Lunch includes meats, tropical fruits, salads, tea, coffee and cool drinks.
The river guides have a good sense of humour and give an informative commentary throughout the day. River Guides are rigorously trained. A video of the day's adventure is recorded as well as action photographs. These are available for purchase after the days events during dinner. Included in the day are transfers.
