Visitors can also stop at the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, home to over 1,500 tropical butterflies in a large flight aviary adjacent to Kuranda Markets. An optional upgrade includes admission to the Rainforestation Nature Park, where guests see native Australian wildlife and take an amphibious Army Duck tour through the rainforest; note that selecting this option means no free time in Kuranda village.
