Kuranda tour via Kuranda Scenic Rail and Skyrail - small group tour
» Cairns » Cairns » Cairns
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)
