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.

Travel in Gold Class on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, with lounge seating, dedicated host service, and premium refreshments.

Glide over the rainforest canopy on the Skyrail Cableway, with stops at Red Peak and Barron Falls for boardwalk walks, scenic lookouts, and ranger-guided talks.

Enjoy free time in Kuranda Village, exploring markets, visiting wildlife sanctuaries, or relaxing at a café.

Hassle-free experience with round-trip hotel transfers included from Cairns accommodations.

Did you know? Kuranda’s Butterfly Sanctuary has Australia's largest butterfly aviary.

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

Gold class train journey was just brilliant and the rest of the day was a standout as well. One of the best day trips I've ever done.

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!!
