Great
Take skyrail up and down the train ride was ok if you where facing fawards and a bit uncomfortable if facing backwards

Kuranda and Ken
On time. Informative. SkyWay is boring...train ride is worth the cost. Interesting choice of activities at the top. The butterfly enclosure is great.

Well organised, amazing scenery and fun!
This was a wonderful tour, the host Chris was very knowledgeable, entertaining and well organised. The train trip and the sky cable were fantastic experiences and well worth it with amazing views of the stunning rain forest. I would recommend this tour to all visitors to Cairns and Port Douglas.

This tour is transport and arrangements only
This isn’t really a tour - just transport and ticket acquisition for the experience. Our driver was friendly and gave a little spiel on the drive, but from there you’re on your own which is fine, but the description read more of a group guide.

Sky up, train down.
You can do the route two ways; either works. I took the skyrail up and the train back. I think it is better to try both things than to do one up and down. The train heading down was excellent fun, great views. The skyrail up was also full of great views (and clouds). I suggest you stop and take the walks on the way up.

Kuranda trip was great!
Great trip but maybe a bit much time in Kuranda since we snacked and didn’t sit down to a lunch. We went to the butterfly sanctuary and bird world and enjoyed both. Didn’t do the koala attraction because we had done Featherdale. Up on the cableway in the morning and down on the train in the afternoon on the gold coach where we got unlimited beverages and 3 rounds of snacks and a lot of staff attention.

Kuranda Experience
Be prepared for a glorious long day of beautiful views. Faultless & very helpful staff will guide you through both the Skyrail & Train with a history talk throughout the train journey.

Great way to see the rainforest
great way to see the rainforest and learn about local history.
See the forest and town by rail and then we took the skyway down through the rain forest seeing from above and learning about rain forest ecosystem, plants and animals. Stopped at the water fall which was massive due to rain and run off over the dam at the top of the river

A big thank you to Peter...
A big thank you to Peter our bus driver and day organiser for a really informative and knowledgeable dialogue along the way and during the day. He actually made the day for us.
It was a pity that the audio on the skyrail wasn't working on anyone's phone. I was looking forward to the information therein.

Excellent nature experience
Very nice experience with Skytrain one way and the Scenic Railway the other. The time in Kuranda village was a bit too long the way it was arranged.

Sky rail and train was...
Sky rail and train was nice trip, but what it is $250.00 is a bit expensive, somewhere between $ 150.00-$ 175.00 would more reasonable
