Skyrail, Kuranda and Scenic Railway

Cairns is surrounded by a natural wonderland – the world famous Great Barrier Reef on one side and the equally beautiful lush rainforest hinterland on the other. If you can tear yourself away from the under-water attractions, you’ll be rewarded with what’s sure to be one of the world’s most beautiful rainforest experiences. Hop in a six-person gondola cabin and take a skyrail ride through the lush rainforest. The views are breath-taking as you glide over the rainforest just meters above the canopy. Explore Aboriginal town, Kuranda ‘the village in the rainforest’ including arts and craft market stalls shaded by giant fig trees. Then, board the Kuranda Scenic Railway for a spectacular return journey through the rainforest-clad mountains. Travel through tunnels and over bridges with sheer cliff faces and panoramic views of the Coral Sea and Cairns in the distance. Once the tour is over you’ll head back to the cruise ship in awe of this beautiful country.
