The Skyrail to top with 2 stops along the way. Very helpful ranger explained the canopy and the animals, mammals and birds in the rainforest. Kuranda is a quaint little town where you start your rail journey. Great experience- loved it.

The Skyrail portion to Kuranda was great, the train ride back was not as impressive. Kuranda is a tourist village with shops and restaurants. The wildlife attractions were ok. It's a good extra day activity, if you have it.

We purchased tickets for the scenic train up to Kuranda and the gondola back. The train up was disappointing, but absolutely loved the skyrail back. The views are amazing.

Had a wonderful day out to Kuranda, went on the sky rail and returned on the train. Spent the day looking around Kuranda and having lunch. Would recommend to any tourists in the area to make the effort to visit Kuranda. The day was great a coach picked us up in Cairns took us to starting point of sky rail and dropped us off at pick up point on return.

Overall excellent. My only peeve was the not so easy way to book if you did not want the transfer bus. The website simply asks you to contact skyrail who then tell you to contact Queensland Railways directly to book that leg. Having said that this is a high quality and good value trip.
We ascended by train and returned by skyrail.
The views on both parts were spectacular.

Loved the skyrail. Went with my family of 6 and we all had a great day. Karanda has heaps of markets and shops to look at and have lunch in while your waiting for the train home. Train ride had lovely views and conductor was very informative

The tour operator changed the departure time and we were NOT notified. Had to call to find that out when the coach did not show up at the scheduled time.

The sky rail was a really amazing view but the staff were really rude and every time we went on had put us on a gondala with other family so it was 5/6 people in the gondala when we asked to go on your own since it wasn’t busy, twice they had let coups go on there own but when we asked even tho no one was behind us in the line they would make us wait for others to line up so we could get on with other people. It would of been nice to be able to go on our own since it wasn’t busy at all
