Loved the skyrail trip up and the train ride down. The village was small so not a whole lot to do.

Our family had a fantastic day experiencing the different types of transport whilst taking in the amazing views. Kuranda had something to offer for our 4 and 6 year olds as well as my husband and I. We definately got value for our money. We would highly recommend the day.

Even though heavy rain meant we could not see much in either trip we stopped at all stations and walked and looked around. Staff were nice - giving umbrellas to use and pointing out different nature attractions - big spiders and peacock.

Amazing transport choice to experience the rain forest. We took the Skyrail in and the train back to the city - both offering distinctive views and history. Highly recommended!

Very enjoyable & satisfying experience with train ride to Kuranda and cable car back. If we had realised that our return trip was much shorter, we would have spent a longer, more leisurely time enjoying the market experiences in Kuranda.

Very good service when booking the trip and once we arrived at the Skyrail in Cairns. Fantastic views and a wonderful experience! We even met sailors from the American war ship Essex that was in town for a few days. They were impressed too!

This was our second time on Skyrail - our first was 100% as it was not peak season. Unfortunately this time was a little too crowded. We still loved the experience.
