About this activity

This small-group tour includes a short transfer from your hotel to Cairns Railway Station where you will board the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway for an amazing journey over 37 bridges & through 15 tunnels passing the rainforest to the charming village of Kuranda. It’s a short walk to the village where you will have just under 2 hours to dine, explore, shop or perhaps an exciting encounter with wildlife at one of the zoos. Later, make your way to Skyrail Rainforest Cableway where you will glide over the rainforest canopy as you make your way to the Barron Falls. View the magnificent Barron Gorge, the falls & visit the Rainforest Interpretive Centre before re-boarding the cableway and making your way to Red Peak Station. From there explore the World Heritage listed rainforest before re-boarding and completing your journey at Smithfield where you will be met and transferred to your accomodation. (If you read the reviews please note the itinerary for this tour was reversed January 2022)

Wonderful experience!

First time in North Queensland, absolutely loved the experience, the scenic railway was beautiful, loved the history behind the train and how it was built. Exploring Kuranda village was also great, lots of things to do and see, not to mention some beautiful wee stores to spend all my money!

Well worth a day of your holiday

This was an excellent day trip from Cairns - we ascended to Kuranda via the Sky Rail (stunning) and returned via the scenic rail trip (beautiful) and the town of Kuranda itself is very quaint, with plenty to see.

The Kuranda scenic rail...

The Kuranda scenic rail trip was amazing. Unfortunately we missed the skyrail due to a storm, but the organizers were really helpful and friendly. Nice trip, highly recommended to attend.
