Gita di un giorno sulla Skyrail Rainforest Cableway da Cairns

Wonderful trip up on the Skyrail. Enjoyed the guided talk at the first stop, and the incredible views above the rainforest and the Barron Falls. It was great to have time to explore Kuranda, enjoy a pie and take the walks around before jumping on the train back to Cairns.

This is definitely a great experience, however I was extremely disappointed that as a solo traveler I was forced to share a gondola even though they weren’t busy. They have signs saying in busy times they will ask you to share. They were not busy! The poor couple were trying to wave me out of entering, so embarrassing. Then in the ride they practically sat on top of me taking selfies, while she flicked her hair in my face and I watched completely empty gondolas go by. I paid the same as everyone else but no comfort because I’m one. No souvenir picture for me because who wants a photo of a stranger next to you for $20? I was only lined up for 5 minutes so definitely not busy and when I asked the skyrail attendant, he rudely said to me “They’ll be busy at the next stop too, so you’ll be sharing”. They weren’t and I didn’t have to share through the 2nd stop. Thankfully at the third change over, at least they made an effort to put me with another solo traveler. Absolutely ridiculous when empty gondolas were travelling. Solo discrimination as the guy literally said to me, “All solo travellers share”even though the sign clearly states only when busy. Confused, as this makes them no extra money at all. I felt totally disrespected. Do not miss this experience, I leave this review in the hope the company does better and you aren’t forced to share your experience in times of quiet traffic.

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.

It’s well worth the trip. Beautiful waterfalls and sites. Good markets at the village. The butterflies and animal exhibits were fun to see.

A wonderful trip through the rainforest, seen from above and from within. Time for lunch, hiking, and admiring the scenery. Good organization and very friendly and helpful staff. The village of Kuranda itself was a bit disappointing. Apart from the usual shops, the heritage area was practically deserted.

Ancient Rainforest as far as the eye can see from above and a few stations where you can stop and walk into the rainforest itself on the forest floor.

For the time we had, it was an amazing little tour. The drivers that took us to Kuranda and back were lovely, the train and sky rail experience absolutely stunning and a must-do in Cairns! Wish we had more time, but that was nothing to do with the tour. Just so much to do at such a beautiful place.

The cable car was fabulous - over 45 minutes over the rainforest. The train was cute, with lots of history. Kuranda town had some nice boutique shops. But this is not a guided tour and you are on your own.

Easy to get around, great ride up to the top. Line up went fast and was easy to board the gondola! 😊

My wife and I were here for the first time in Australia. We wanted to see a bit of the rainforest from an aerial view and had heard so much about it from others. This took us above the rainforest canopy, giving us a bird's-eye view of the forest below. In a way, it was disappointing, as ... can't really see a lot of the forest below, as it was pretty much the same treetops, etc. We thought there would be more. After about 10 minutes, it's a repeat. The best part was Barron Falls
