Discover Far North Queensland's spectacular rainforest with a local expert on this intimate Kuranda tour from Cairns. Limited to 10 guests, this small-group experience combines the award-winning Skyrail Rainforest Cableway and historic Kuranda Scenic Railway with personalised service in English, Mandarin, or Cantonese. Journey above World Heritage Wet Tropics rainforest on Skyrail, explore Kuranda Village's Heritage Markets and wildlife sanctuaries, and witness Barron Falls cascading through Barron Gorge National Park. Return via the 1891 Kuranda Scenic Railway, travelling through 15 hand-carved tunnels and 37 heritage bridges as your guide shares Djabugay cultural stories, Queensland railway history, and tropical ecology. Our service includes pickup from Cairns City and Cairns Port with all Skyrail and Railway tickets included. Please note that from 20 July, the Skyrail will be undergoing renovations; from 21 July onwards guests will be driven to Kuranda, returning by train.
