Picked this tour as wanted to rail up to Kuranda and sky rail down and have time at Kuranda. The train trip was great, stopped a couple of times on the way up for photos, plenty to see in Kuranda, trip included the Rainforest park with lunch which was lovely and plentiful. After feeding the kangaroos and seeing other animals, it was off on the ‘duck’ for an adventure, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, didn’t do all parts of the tour as wanted to go to butterfly sanctuary which was lovely. Sky rail trip was amazing , stopped off a couple of times to walk around the areas. Really recommend this day, picked up from northern beaches.

Our resort in Palm Cove booked us on a Down Under Tour. Everything ran perfectly, it was all explained clearly which is often not the case when there’s numerous changeovers in transport. We had bus transfers to and from hotel, the train up and then the Skyrail back down.
The train was fantastic, so beautiful. And I fell in love with the town of Kuranda. I would incorporate an overnight stay up there next time I holiday. Skyrail was also good, although the weather had turned pretty cloudy and wet by then, which hindered the view a little bit.
I would highly recommend doing this tour, it’s probably the highlight of my holiday. A great day out.

Fabulous whole day out. Excellent transfers, superb train journey with tremendous views, great history, interesting village Kuranda, a bit touristy but what do you expect? Spectacular return via the Skyrail which also allowed stops in parts of the rain forest and spectacular views of the Barron river and falls. Couldn't fault this trip. Thoroughly recommended!

My wife made a booking for us and our 4yr old daughter to go on the Scenic Railway trip and Skyrail return with pick up. This was from our pick up at Cnr of Moore /Trinity St.
We were really impressed with the kind and friendly approach of Neil, the driver. He was methodical and clear and very helpful.
His service, which we found to be followed up by the representatives of Down Under Tours was an absolute pleasure and bonus. We had no real idea who was picking us up but it was great value for money.
Finally to top it off the coach was on top and very high spec/modern/comfortable.
We didn't use Down Under Tours for our principal activities today (20/11/18) but even so I felt compelled to highlight a positive experience.
We will certainly recommend you to others without any hesitation.

My experience on the Kuranda Scenic Railway is sort of "mixed". The station is lovely and has heaps of character. We were crammed into a carriage with lots of people, it was really hot and uncomfortable. A little way into the journey a staff member came and offered a couple of us to move to other carriages that were not as full, which was greatly appreciated. The journey was pleasant enough and got to see some lovely scenery and hear the history of the railway which was amazing . Overall I rated the entire experience as average.

It's a nice ride up but if you are riding the skyway you will have better views. You can take the us to Kuranda for around $6. The cars are not air conditioned so if you go in the afternoon it will be quite warm.

We enjoyed a wonderful day on the Kuranda Scenic Railway Day trip. We were collected on time and transported comfortably to the historic railway station that would transport us along the Kuranda Rail journey. The journey itself was fantastic and the stories that accompanied us on our way through the beautiful scenery was excellent. The skyrail journey on the way back was equally exciting and enjoyable providing us with a different but magnificent view of the rainforest. We would recommend this journey to anyone

The train ride goes past beautiful views of waterfalls and bushland. The train itself doesn't have aircon so it can get a little hot! Bring a fan! Lovely trip for the family, definitely recommend
