Overview

This is a combination of a one-way Skyrail Rainforest Cableway with a one-way Kuranda Scenic Railway and can be enjoyed as a half or full-day experience.

Depending on your tour selection, you can start with either Skyrail Rainforest Cableway or Kuranda Scenic Railway and either experience is equally enjoyable.

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway takes you on a fascinating journey of discovery over and deep into Australia’s Wet Tropics World Heritage listed rainforest.

Glide mere metres above the pristine rainforest canopy before descending to explore the forest floor at Red Peak and Barron Falls.

Enjoy complimentary ranger guided tours, the Rainforest Discovery Zone, The Edge Lookout, the Historical Precinct and the Rainforest Interpretation Centre to fully immerse yourself in the unique sights, sounds, smells and feel of the rainforest.

Kuranda Scenic Railway

Board the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway as it meanders its way between Cairns and Kuranda.

Opened in 1891, this famous railway ascends from the coastal plains of Cairns through Freshwater Railway Station and on to Kuranda, the Village in the Rainforest, some 328 metres (1,076 feet) above sea level.

Your historic journey in fully refurbished vintage carriages includes English commentary and a short photo opportunity stop at Barron Falls.
