Journey above World Heritage Wet Tropics' rainforest on the Skyrail with panoramic views of waterfalls and dramatic landscapes. With four hours in Kuranda Village, browse the Heritage Markets, visit optional wildlife sanctuaries, enjoy the local eateries, and photograph the village.

Return via the 1891 Kuranda Scenic Railway through 15 tunnels and 37 bridges whilst onboard commentary shares Queensland railway history.

Your friendly driver ensures door-to-door service from Cairns City with Skyrail and Railway tickets included.
