Take a day out from Cairns by taking the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway over the Rainforest Canopy, spending time in Kuranda Village. Then later boarding the Kuranda Train, the Kuranda Scenic Railway, for the journey home
Take a day trip of discovery to explore the beautiful Kuranda Village, exploring on foot, by Skyrail Cableway and a scenic railway journey.
Your trip begins with a transfer from your accommodation to the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway where you'll discover the beauty of this World Heritage Rainforest as you glide over the canopy heading toward Kuranda Village.

Punctual pick up, Michael was knowledgeable of the area, good communication. The skyrail and Kuranda train are a must-do if visiting Cairns.
Thanks for the review Kirsty, I'm pleased you enjoyed my your.
Michael picked us up from the hotel on time and gave some commentary on the way to Skyrail. While we were at Kuranda he sent a text to remind us of the train departure time and meeting point at the end. He was waiting for us at the train station. It was good to have only a small group.
Thanks for your review Helen. I'm pleased you enjoyed my tour.

Thanks for the review Eve, I'm pleased you enjoyed my tour
A must do for a visit to Cairns! Hotel transfers were friendly, informative and just a small group which we loved. Skyrail was excellent, very short queues and they prioritised leaving small groups in a cable car to themselves if it’s not overly busy. Scenic rail was a hit with our history buff daughter, very easy pace for the trip home.we recommend the Crepe restaurant (The Petit Cafe) for lunch, busy but amazing meals.
Thanks for the review Danelle, I'm pleased you enjoyed my tour.

Really enjoyed this trip!
We can really recommend this trip! The skyrail gondola was fantastic, and I highly recommend getting off at the stops and listening to the park ranger talks. We enjoyed our few hours in Kuranda, and the scenic rail home gave us another vantage of the rainforest and a lot of the history of the train. It was all interesting and enjoyable. And Michael did a great job of taking care of us, and giving us recommendations and information along the way.
