Kuranda Original Rainforest Markets

Very nice place to visit but not so many shops open,some shops are close permanently

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.

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.

Quirky & beautiful. It's like something out of Enid Blyton's the Faraway Tree - the land of Faerie markets. Bring cash, because many stalls don't take cards. We missed out on the mini golf because no cash. But well worth a visit.

The markets are almost entirely spiritual hippie stuff or incense. It’s all the same. The markets are in a beautiful location though AND the two Japanese businesses alone are worth going for. Those two shops are AMAZING and run by the sweetest people. Delicious food and traditional. The rest of the market is honestly a miss.

Most of the shops don’t open till late in the morning so do your sightseeing before going to the stores. The pies are good at the bakery very tasty 👍👍
