Full description

Explore the village of Kuranda in a pristine World Heritage-listed rainforest. Be picked up from your hotel and travel to the train station. Take the Kuranda Scenic Railway and marvel at mountains on the way. Soar over waterfalls and over Barron Gorge on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway.

Explore the markets, shops, and walking trails, or take a river cruise (seasonal) for 2.5 hours. Discover the food stalls and cafés, or dine with the water dragons at Frog’s Restaurant famous for its sauces and dressings. Take the famous Skyrail down, spanning 7.5km over the rainforest canopy.

Spot native wildlife, including the cassowary, the world's 3rd-largest flightless bird. Next, take the 2:00 PM Skyrail back to the bottom (Skyrail Smithfield station). Embark on a fascinating journey of discovery over and deep into the world’s oldest, continually-surviving tropical rainforest.

The iconic Skyrail experience is a must-do Cairns attraction of Australia’s World-Heritage listed tropical rainforest, immersing you in one of the most botanically fascinating areas on earth. At the end of your Skyrail experience, be picked up again by bus at 3:30 PM to be brought back to the hotel.

Disappointed in the delay of train. Understand that was beyond control of activity provider. Rail trip excellent. Kuranda town tired and overrun with shitty souvenir stores. Needs a big refresh! Sky rail was professional and lived up to hype. Stops we’ll worth it and we’ll managed.

An enjoyable day however the Skyway was disappointing. It was not a busy day but the skyway people insisted we get into one gondola. For six waiting there were 3 gondolas waiting. One gondola was sent down empty. I watched it arrive. Bastards! When it’s not busy, we could get a chance to video but not facing backwards! Anyway safe to say it was my second time on skyway. FIRST AND LAST! Train was wonderful.

Both Skyrail and Train were awesome. The staff at all stops on the Skyrail were very helpful and very polite. I enjoyed the commentary on the train on the way back to Cairns. Again the staff were great. Recommended this trip to all who visit Cairns. Thankyou.
