This is the third time we have travelled on the Skyrail to Kuranda. The company is very professional but there can be quite a long wait (we queued for 15 - 30 min) at each station in peak times. The gondolas provide a fantastic view of the rain forest and Cairns coast line. Being a hot December day it was... More

We did the Scenic Railway on the way up and the Skyrail on the return trip. The Skyrail was a really enjoyable trip with consistently good views. The stop at Barron Falls (on the other side of the falls to the Scenic Railway) was pretty, and the Discovery Centre there was quite interesting. There wasn't much at the other stop... More

We went on the sky rail to Kuranda. Our host advised us to take the Skyrail there and the train back. She said that it would be very hot to take the train there and the skyrail back. In hindsight, I think I would have preferred to switch it. The assent had a lot of fog. Many of our pictures... More

From Cairns we boarded a shuttle van that took us to the starting point for the Skyrail. The Skyrail was an excellent way to see the countryside and enjoy some serenity. My wife and I also booked the Djabugay Tour which you disembark the Skyrail and meet your tour guide for a 60 minute walk through the rainforest. Our guide... More

Did the skyrail as part of a day tour including the scenic rail on the way up to Kuranda. Spectacular views of Cairns on the way back down the mountain. A little freaky when travelling over the Barron River. There are two stops, Barron Falls and Red Peak. Great way to break up the journey. Must do if you're going... More

The sky rail is a relaxing trip (if you don't mind heights) and the get off points are easy, you can take as much or as little time as you like before returning to the skyrail. I don't see much advantage to doing this as an organised tour.

We went on the kuranda train and sky rail it was a spectacular day the staff and guides were so friendly and informative. Great views of the area and educational too

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Cairns! Even though I'm afraid of heights, I absolutely LOVED this experience. Flying over the top of the rain forest, you are able to see the most beautiful views. There are two stops on the trip which allow you to get out of the cable car and see the views... More

My spouse and I took a trip to Kuranda village in late August 2012, traveling there (one-way) on the Kuranda Scenic Railway (KSR), with our return one-way trip on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. After visiting Kuranda village for approximately two hours, our Skyrail gondola departed at 12:45 pm from the Kuranda Terminal en route to the Cavonica Terminal. The Skyrail... More
