Our day started slightly late for the bus transfer, however, Ricky, our coach captain made us feel very welcome as we boarded. His reassuring smile and calmness sharing the things we needed to know had a relaxing effect. His informing and "selling the sizzle" of the train journey, the butterfly and wildlife options were so enjoyable, and so began it mental picture of what to expect. (The train journey provided an insight into the difficulties of its construction over 100 years ago!!!) Our day provided perfect weather, some memorable moments with nature, a tasty chicken curry port from one of the many market-strip vendors, and finished with an Birds Eye View of the absolute spectacle of the area visited. Justifies using Headout Tours 😊 Thank you so much. 🥰

The train ride was so much fun and nostalgic. We couldn't believe we were riding in carriages that were old and original. Loved the pressed tin roof. The scenery was amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Kuranda was so quirky and cute. Loved the village atmosphere. Plenty of shops for everyone and lots of food options! The Skyrail trip was amazing. It was fantastic to see the forest from the different perspective. All in all a great day out!

A great day, with friendly and helpful staff. The train was comfortable and clean and offered stunning views as the train climbed the the mountain. The handout, given to us by train staff, provided extra information on the construction and history of the train. The skyrail provided further opportunities to see the stunning views. Having the ability to disembark allowed us get further views of the waterfall and the rainforest interior. We highly recommend

Opt for this self-guided tour of Kuranda with scenic railway and skyrail tickets with round-trip coach transfers from Skyrail Terminal.

Pass through hand-carved tunnels on the historic Kuranda Science Railway and glide over the rainforest canopy on the Skyrail, with stops at Red Peak for complimentary ranger-guided tours.

Explore Kuranda Village at your own pace, browsing local markets, cafés, and wildlife sanctuaries like Birdworld and the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary (entry at own expense).

Choose to upgrade your ticket to get a one-way Skyrail or one-way scenic train ticket for your convenience.

Did you know? The Scenic Railway is over 130 years old. It was originally built to connect Cairns to the Atherton Tablelands and support mining and agriculture.

Journey to Kuranda on the historic scenic railway

Board the Kuranda Scenic Railway, a heritage train that winds through World Heritage-listed rainforest, hand-carved tunnels, and towering bridges. As you pass Barron Falls and Stoney Creek, hear stories of the railway’s construction and its role in Queensland’s history.

Explore Kuranda at your own pace

Once in Kuranda Village, enjoy free time to explore. Wander through the local markets, grab a bite at a café, or visit wildlife attractions like Birdworld, Kuranda Koala Gardens, and the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary (entry at own expense).

Glide above the treetops on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, taking in breathtaking views of the Atherton Tablelands and Cairns coastline. Stop at Red Peak and Barron Falls to explore scenic boardwalks, enjoy complimentary ranger-guided tours, and experience the rainforest up close.

Upgrade to one-way ticket options

Prefer a shorter journey? Choose a one-way ticket—travel by Scenic Railway or Skyrail, allowing you to experience the rainforest from a single perspective.
