We loved this tour. I was wonderful! It had everything for all age groups. The only disappointment was the large amount of very rude Japanese who could care less about anyone else. Other than them the whole tour including the train back down was wonderful! We loved it. More

We started our day taking the scenic rail to Kurranda, which set the tone for the day. The scenery, which is beautiful, along with the historical photos and commentary, gives you a clear idea of what people sacrificed in building in this area. Kuranda is a fun marketplace town -- don't miss holding a koala, eating a fresh mango, or... More

We have done a number of "great train rides" and a number of cable car trips in various countries in the world, and neither experience to/from Kurunda was up to scratch. We went to Kuranda by cable car. The only notable viewpoint was the Barron Falls, otherwise it was trees and trees. On the way back - although there was... More

We caught the sky rail up and paid the extra money to go "first class" on the train coming back. We enjoyed both experiences, but think it was a little pricey for what you actually received. Cannot fault the staff on either service - they were excellent - extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. You don't need anymore than three hours in... More

This was perfect we travelled up by train and down by sky rail. Pay a little extra for the train and receive excellent service wine and snacks. Kuranda was a fun day and lots of places to eat and shop. More

Don't waste your time with the larger Tour Companies, when you can have personalised, friendly and expert commentary from a local. The Sky Rail is just a breath taking trip with magnificent scenery all around, and the Kuranda to Cairns Rail Train ride is one that you just have to go on to believe. A highlight on my vacation to... More
