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

The train to Kuranda offered spectacular views of the valleys and waterfalls. It was nice to have a stop to take pictures and take in the scenery. Kuranda village was a nice stroll to see the shops. The highlight of the trip was the cable car ride over the rainforest canopy. Seeing the beautiful blue butterflies over the trees was my favorite moment.

The views are stunning, the history on the train on the way to Kurrunda was very intersesting and well timed without being overbearing and loud. Really well executed, though I was glad to have a window seat on the right side. The Skyview on the way down was simply spectacular. Photos never do it justice but WOW.

Breathtaking rainforest views, with stunning sights of the Barron River and Barron Gorge. The journey was smooth and memorable, and Kuranda Village added a charming, relaxed touch to a truly scenic experience including Koala Gardens with the dancing Koalas

A fantastic day between the Kuranda Scenic railway, falls, tropical forest and Kuranda Village with its genious market. For the return, the skyrail was very exiting. We enjoyed our trip. Thank you. French people. We love Australia!

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.
