Our markets have a rich history that dates back to 1978 when they were first organized by a group of local hippy artists and craftspeople.

Reviews
"Larger and more interesting than the Kuranda Heritage Market. Many outdoor stalls selling crafts, clothing, produce and homemade goods. Various dining options. Seems very touristy but was worth a wander around. Only open Wednesday to Sunday."
"I went off season and there were shops that weren’t opened. I didn’t take too many photos as it is the atmosphere that I felt there, all the shopkeepers were nice. The market was actually quite big in a sense that you will need half a day to really explore it properly. I also loved that there were organic shops to eat at. You really have to look around to notice where you’d spend your money on here. I went into the shops that were all locally made and produced from Kuranda and not the souvenir shops as I support locally made organic shops. I also spent money on stand alone businesses like tarot reading etc. I spoke to Karen at rare earth oils half the day and Heidi at her clothes shop to pick up a rare cotton vest."
"From Cairns took this tour via skyrail and will return via scenic train. Absolutely breathless traveling through rainforest via skyrail and stopping at two separate stops ti learn about the origins and evolution of this rainforest."
"What a fantastic market to visit, as it's its so unique and has such a quirky and spiritual vibe about it. We just love walking around the little stalls selling a lot of unique gifts and arts and crafts. The cafes are just so cute with outdoor tables to enjoy the serenity of the Rainforest. Can't wait to go back one day."
"Loved the vibe and the friendly shop owners. Definitely worth visiting if you are in Kuranda. Do not miss the small sourdough pizza slice outlet called Panda Kuranda. Amazing pizza slices."
