from A$195 per person
7 hours 15 mins
Soar above rainforest on Skyrail, explore Kuranda Village, then journey back on the breathtaking Kuranda Scenic Railway through waterfalls and gorges.
Discover the best of Cairns' rainforest wonderland with the Skyrail & Kuranda Scenic Railway Tour, an unforgettable journey through ancient tropical landscapes from two breathtaking perspectives.
Begin your adventure aboard the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, gliding silently above the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics Rainforest. Take in sweeping views of the Barron Gorge National Park as you descend through the canopy, stopping at Red Peak and Barron Falls stations for guided ranger tours, scenic boardwalks, and the spectacular "Edge" Lookout, where glass panels reveal uninterrupted views of the powerful Barron Falls below.
Once you arrive in Kuranda Village, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace. Wander through the Original and Rainforest Markets, sample local delicacies at quirky cafés, or visit the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, home to over 1,500 tropical butterflies.
Your return journey on the Kuranda Scenic Railway is an experience in itself - a historic rail adventure winding through lush rainforest, dramatic gorges, and cascading waterfalls. Admire the heritage carriages and marvel at the engineering that makes this one of the world's most beautiful train journeys.
This classic combination of rail and cableway delivers the ultimate Kuranda experience - a perfect balance of nature, culture, and wonder.
