Stunning ride up in the train and the bus transfers were great with great commentary by the drivers. Only concern was the time to be at various locations. Our skyrail was at 1:45pm with a bus transfer at 2:45pm which didn't leave a lot of time between the finish of skyrail. We didn't do the falls tour so got back with only 5 minutes to spare. That was even with getting in the skyrail 10 minutes early. Would have been better if skyrail was earlier and closer to train ride finish.

The scenery was amazing. Everyone working with the train and sky rail were so helpful and friendly. I have some mobility challenges and felt supported and looked after.

Our transfer was late to collect us from the skyrail to the Freshwater train station; so when we got to Freshwater we had very limited time to enjoy our complimentary drink before train arrived. Was disappointed with the Gold class train ride but did enjoy the Skyrail back to the Carpark base. Thank you for a pleasant day

This is a wonderful trip to take while in the Cairns area. The Gold Class Service was great so we didn't need to waste time in Kuranda finding food. The Sky Rail back was spectacular! This is a must do!!
