My partner and myself went on the train trip up to Kuranda! We arrived at the skyrail station awaiting a bus trip to freshwater station...there was no information given at the station...luckily I asked one of the bus drivers for direction on down under tours, he happened to be very helpful! Also this turned out to be our bus! From... More

This tour provided two great options to travel and view this area of the country in Queensland. The train was clean and comfortable and the commentary provided on board was very informative. The views of the rainforest and surrounding areas were spectacular on the skyrail. We held a Koala in Kuranda...can't be beat! More

We took the Karunda train up and the Skyrail down. Both are excellent. We have been to rainforests in the Caribbean, Central and South America, so this was not new to us. The views are spectacular from both the train and the skyrail. Strongly recommend going up on one and down on the other. Didn't seem to me that it... More

I took the Kuranda Scenic Railway up to Kuranda from Cairns railway station and took the Skyrail on the way down. Views from both were fantastic, however the views of the rainforest canopy from the Skyrail were amazing. Was disappointed by Kuranda village - on the day of my visit there was very little open and I found it difficult... More

In an attempt to use all of our days wisely we booked a day tour on the Kuranda Rail. When you leave the depot and head up the hill on the skyrail you'll see immeditaly that you've spent your time and money wisely. There are 2-3 stops along the skyrail where you can get out of the car and walk... More

Amazing weather helped and upgrading to Gold class was very much worth the extra few dollars, we got fed and watered well and even got a complimentary postcard home (which arrived after I did haha) Vies are spectacular and the history very interesting despite being difficult to hear. Cuddling a Koala and having fun with all the amazing parrots and... More
