Your adventure begins at the Skyrail Rainforest Cable Car Station, where you’ll take a gondola for a truly unforgettable journey over Australia's World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest canopy and into the rainforest itself.
Spanning approximately 4 1/2 miles over pristine rainforest, Skyrail allows you to explore the wonders of this ancient tropical rainforest and learn about one of the most botanically fascinating and diverse areas on earth.
Your adventure includes time at two mid-stations where you’ll learn about this fascinating environment from the forest floor. The walkways at Barron Falls station take you to 3 separate lookouts where you will be treated to breathtaking views of Barron Gorge and Barron Falls. Here, you'll also find the state-of-the-art Rainforest Interpretation Center.
After your Skyrail journey concludes, it’s off to the center of Kuranda, a delightful village nestled in the heart of the rainforest. Established as a railway station in the mid-1800s when logging and mining were large industries on the Atherton Tablelands, Kuranda was known as a place to stock up on goods while enjoying culture and sophistication at one of the local hotels. Today, this colorful township is a haven for markets, cafés and restaurants. After a brief overview of the town, you'll have free time to browse shops for local artwork, crafts, opals or aboriginal souvenirs. Re-joining your coach, you'll begin the journey back to Cairns.
