What you can expect

Let the spectacular Skyrail Rainforest Cableway take you on a ride through the lush rainforest of Kuranda. Glide silently over & through the jungle canopy and explore the quaint village before you board the Kuranda Scenic Railway for a look at one of Australia's most historic journeys.

After you're picked up from Cairns, head to Skyrail's Smithfield terminal to board the Skyrail cableway, which takes you gliding silently over & through the rainforest on the way to Kuranda. You can stop at 2 stations along the way to enjoy a walk to spectacular lookouts or visit the CSIRO Interpretive Centre.

When you arrive in Kuranda, get some time to explore this fascinating village. The Heritage Markets operate 7 days a week, full of colourful arts and crafts. Next, board the world-famous Kuranda Scenic Rail for your return journey to Cairns. Wind through hand-hewn tunnels, across bridges, and around curves, all the while appreciating what an amazing engineering feat it is. Upon arriving at Freshwater Station, our coach will transfer you back to Cairns.
