The Kuranda railway experience was enjoyable from its beginning at Freshwater Railway Station (including historical displays) all the way through its ascent to Kuranda. Such stunning scenery and photo opportunities. The carriages were old but comfortable with good visibility to the landscape. Friendly staff offered assistance, including taking photos with your own camera. On arriving at Kuranda, there was a... More

We did this trip 13 years ago on our honeymoon and although the Barron Falls weren't as spectacular as it was back then, it really was a fantastic trip, just gliding above the rainforest canopy in these little gondolas is just an amazing feeling. We stopped at the Kuranda Markets at the top which was a HUGE dissapointment. Where has... More

What an amazing experience, the views are incredible from the Sky Rail and Kuranda is an amazing place. 3 hours in Kuranda is not enough, there is so much to see and do with the markets and habitats. And the locals are very friendly. The train trip back to Cairns was the highlight, the photo oppurtunities were fantastic and the... More

This was fantastic. We were on a cruise and stopped in Cairns and chose to do the Skyrail to Kuranda. The change over stops went very smooth and the walks at these stops were refreshing. What a view from the top, over the tops of the trees. All the people in the cars were saying "Oh... Ah...!" all the time... More

A great day out from Cairns, yet still local, taking you into the rainforest where you travel above the treetop canopy on a 7.5km gondola (like the small enclosed ski lifts), with optional stops along the way to explore boardwalks. Arriving in Kuranda is a bit of a shock: much of the village is given over to tourist shops, with... More

We enjoyed our trip on the skyrail, alhtough to be honest it's probably not something we would do again (due to the cost). It was a beautiful ride and the guides were very friendly, we'd definitely reccommend it to first-timers to Kuranda and the greater Cairns region More

Well I was sorry when it was over!!!! The scenery was Magnificent.. The water falls, the trees the huge flowers that sat on... More
