Skyrail and Kuranda Railway Combo
Description
Experience two of the most popular tourist attractions in the Far North. Enjoy the convenience of being picked up from your Cairns accommodation and transferred to Skyrail. The cableway will take you above the forest canopy to enjoy our World Heritage listed Rainforest. Then spend some time exploring Kuranda ‘the village in the rainforest’ before departing on the world famous Kuranda Scenic Railway. This amazing journey will stop at Barron Gorge and cross the impressive Stoney Creek Bridge on its way to Freshwater Station and then on to Cairns Station.
Skyrail
Skyrail is a unique rainforest experience taking you on an unforgettable journey over and through Australia’s World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest.
Glide just metres above the canopy in Skyrail’s comfortable six-person gondola cabins, enjoying spectacular views of the rainforest, tropical Cairns, the Coral Sea and the lush Cairns Highlands.
Two rainforest mid-stations, Red Peak and Barron Falls, provide the opportunity to explore and learn about this ancient environment on Ranger guided boardwalk tours and at the Rainforest Interpretation Centre.
Upon reaching the village of Kuranda a rich assortment of interesting attractions and unique shopping experiences awaits you.
Winner of the 2008 Qantas Australian Tourism Award for Excellence in Sustainable Tourism, Skyrail is The World’s Most Beautiful Rainforest Experience.
Kuranda Railway
The original Kuranda Scenic Railway is a spectacular journey comprising unsurpassed views of dense rainforest, steep ravines and picturesque waterfalls. This famous railway winds its way on a journey of approximately 1 hour 45 minutes from Kuranda, the village in the rainforest, to Cairns.

Everything Cairns Comments
This is a wonderful option for couples, families or those tourists wanting to step away from the hussel and bustle of Cairns and spend a day enjoying the spectacular views of the rainforest from above and the quaint tranquility of the township of Kuranda. Once you get off the skyrail in Kuranda you have about 3 hours to wander around the town, check out the local shops and markets and grab some lunch before the train ride back to Cairns.
Suggestions: There are two markets in Kuranda. Be sure to visit the less commercialised Original Rainforest market that is hidden away off the main street. Ask one of the locals for directions! Also check out the tasty Pot Pie at the local pub near the train station.
