The Kuranda Scenic Railway is filled with incredible views, history, and fun for all types of travellers, from couples and families to backpackers!
On this popular day trip from Cairns, you’ll wind through gorgeous rainforests and valleys, discovering more about the building of this unique railway line and the stunning world heritage-listed rainforest it runs through via the onboard commentary.
In Kuranda, you’ll have time to explore the village’s unique markets, wildlife attractions, and locally made arts and crafts before taking a ride on the famous Kuranda Skyrail, which spans 7.5 km over pristine tropical rainforests.
You’ll glide just metres above the rainforest canopy before descending through the canopy layers and deep into the heart of the forest at Skyrail’s two rainforest mid-stations for the ultimate tropical rainforest experience.
