Kuranda tour by Scenic Railway and Skyrail
Located just 25 km northwest of Cairns and surrounded by a world heritage Rainforest, you will find the quaint and quirky village known as Kuranda. Kuranda has become a famous tourist destination in Far North Queensland known as the “Village in the Rainforest”.
The best way to experience Kuranda is by combining the Scenic Train journey with the world-famous Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, which this tour offers.
Your day begins with a journey on Kuranda’s scenic railway
Your day starts with a pickup from your Cairns city accommodation. You will be transferred to the historical Freshwater train station. During the 90-minute scenic railway journey, you will climb over 40 small bridges and through many dark tunnels. You will learn about the Pioneering history of the Tropical North while enjoying views of Barron falls.
Kuranda is not complete without a visit to Rainforest Station.
Rainforestation wildlife park is set on 100 acres of World Heritage Rainforest. Here, you will experience the tropical Rainforest from a unique perspective.
Rainforestation is home to the Army Duck Rainforest Tours on land and water, the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience, and native Australian wildlife like the Koala and Kangaroo. After exploring everything Rainforestation offers, you will enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch at Rainforestation’s traditionally styled Aussie Restaurant.
Soar above the Rainforest with Skyrail
Kuranda Scenic Train gives visitors a fantastic view of the Rainforest at ground level. The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway provides an extraordinary birds-eye view of the Rainforest as it soars silently only meters above the Rainforest canopy.
Stretching 7.5 km through the tropical Rainforests of North Queensland, Skyrail provides people with a unique opportunity to see and experience the Rainforest safely and environmentally friendly.
You’ll glide just metres above the Rainforest canopy before descending through the canopy layers and deep into the heart of the Rainforest at Skyrail’s two mid-stations, Barron Falls and Red Peak Station.
