We had a very disappointing day. The train wasn't running and the skyrail only had one section going. Giving us a bus ride and a short 20 minute ride on the skyrail. Even though we were reimbursed for the train. It made the day a very expensive experience 🙃. Very sad as we were really looking forward to the day. I would not recommend this to anyone on the next 2 years as the skyrail is going through a major renovation and will not have the whole ride available. Nobody told us....

Dear Jenny_M,
I'm sorry to hear that the Kuranda Scenic Rail did not operate on the day of your tour. They had a fault on 1 of the bridge so could not operate. Regarding Skyrail, while the upgrade is over 2 years, they will be back operating as per normal from early November until they start again mid next year.
We worked closely with our agents to ensure our tours get updated with current info and will take some learning going into the next Skyrail upgrade phase next year.
Thank you
Kind regards

Always do your homework
We were kept in the dark about the Cable Car which only did a short loop at the top of the hill. The Cable Car was replaced by a bus. Also it wasd very difficult to find information online about the railway including being able to buy tickets. This suits the tour operators not the public.
1. The Cable Car is not working to the bottom terminus.
2. Cairns Railway station is located inside the Cairns Central Shopping Centre and you can buy a return ticket for less than the combined tour.

Dear rusanjos,
Thank you for your feedback. We worked with Viator and many other agents to ensure the Skyrail loop was advertised as best as possible.
Regarding Kuranda Scenic Rail, they've got their own website and easily found online.
I hope your visit to our region was still beneficial for you.
Kind regards

Down Under Tours is disorganised. Friendly bus driver, terrible phone support.
Phone support says they can’t respond to every one because there is too many messages. Poor excuse for a business. Do better Down Under Tours! Not worth the money you pay.

Dear Maxine_P,
I'm with you on this one; I won't make any excuses! Please accept my sincere apologies.
I obviously need to get back to some basic customer service with some of my team members. Rest assure I will do so.
I hope the rest of your time in Cairns went well.
Thank you
Kind regards

Overpriced for what was included—wouldn't recommend
The Kuranda trip was a bit of a disappointment overall.
We upgraded to the Gold Class train, which was nice with the morning bites and open bar service, but honestly, you can probably skip it and save your money.
Once we got to Kuranda village, we realized our ticket only included entry to one attraction rather than full access. We saw the koalas, kangaroos, and crocodiles, but we had to pay extra out of pocket to go see the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary. Aside from those couple of stops, the village itself is mostly just a cluster of generic tourist gift shops with nothing particularly special to offer.
To top it off, the Skyrail cable car wasn't running, so our return trip was just a standard coach bus back to the hotel.
At $160 per person, it felt way overpriced for what we actually got. The cost might have felt justified if the cable car experience was included and operating, but as it stands, I wouldn't recommend this tour or do it again.

Dear Saeko21,
While I can see there were a few positives about your trip to Kuranda, I'm disappointed to read about how you felt overall.
Skyrail is undergoing a very important upgrade and as such as been closed for the past month or so. We do however offer the tour you took which include a coach transfer via the Kuranda range.
I hope the rest of your time in Cairns was enjoyable.
Thank you
Kind regards

You must do it.
Our bus pick-up was a fair bit late because the company also does a school run. We still got to the train station on time though. A little bit confusing at the station as we had Gold Class seats before the train arrived. Once on-board we were introduced to the crew and were offered drinks and snacks. Seating was comfortable. Views incredible. Atmosphere great. Toilet in our carriage. Bars on window interrupt view but they are there for safety. The one and a half hour journey is worth it. Once at Kuranda Station you are on your own. There's a lot of stairs to get up to the town of Kuranda with a couple of rest stops. There are wheelchair or mobility impaired persons ramps and a lift at the station. The town is a beautiful rainforest destination with a couple of attractions thrown in. As part of Gold Class we got entry to Kuranda Koala Gardens or Birdworld Kuranda. Lots of souvenir shops, cafe's, pubs, restaurants, parks, walks and galleries. Unfortunately our Skyrail was cancelled due to maintenance, but the coach ride back to our drop off was welcome after a great day.

Did not get what we paid for
Very disappointed as the we paid for the Gold Class Rail and Sky Rail experience as well and the SkyRail portion was closed for the duration we were there. Do not understand why it was advertised and our payment was accepted if it was not going to be opened.

Dear nicolebA5869YD,
I'm disappointed to hear about your experience with us. For this, please accept my sincere apologies.
I'm surprised that you were able to book a trip including Skyrail experience as Skyrail has been closed for a very welcomed upgrade for the past month also. If you could give me your booking details or just number, I could double check what was booked and go from there.
Otherwise, your booking would have been Kuranda Scenic Rail with coach transfer to or from Kuranda.
I hope you enjoyed the gold class in the train and your time in Cairns.
Kind regards

Great day out, despite the weather 😅
We loved the Gold Class Scenic Railway, the steward was very funny and interactive, plus scenery was beautiful. Service and food great, really worth paying the extra $$. Bit of a rainy day, put it is the tropics 😅 Sky rail being serviced so couldn't do that part but price was adjusted to reflect this.

Excellent Day Trip
This was an unforgettable experience. We travelled up to Kuranda by train and came back on sky rail. Fantastic day out thoroughly enjoyed the train ride but coming back on sky rail was excellent. Good opportunities to stop and take photos. Highly recommended.

False advertising and not friendly service
Booked the skip the line skyrail and scenic rail gold class for 7 people on the 28th of July. The booking was first confirmed at least a month ago. 2 weeks before the trip, I contact the company to confirm pick-up time and location, been told by the service team that the skyrail is under maintenance and they have to change mu booking to coach and then rail; also they will refund me the difference. The next day, instead of confirming my booking, they cancel my whole booking! when I contact the company, they insist it was my own problem because I book their attraction through Booking.com! They will not help me to rebook. I was eventually able to repurchase the tickets and received the confirmation letter again. Now 2 days before my trip, the company told me they oversold their gold class tickets and downgraded my booking from gold class to heritage class, also they will refund me the difference! Did I not just go through the same hoopla before? How is this acceptable? I am sure will not recommend anyone to use this company for any tours! Horrible service!!

Dear lillyw634,
I'm so sorry to hear about your booking issues. For this, please accept my sincere apologies.
I managed to find your bookings and can confirm that your booking was cancelled on the 17th July by a Viator customer representative. Now, I cannot explain why it was cancelled. Did you reach out to them and have some sort of conversation with them that might have led them to cancel your booking? Not sure but could be an explanation.
Now, I've addressed with my team the importance of been helpful as they could have re-booked you straight away directly with us. So sorry we felt short in that aspect.
Please feel free to contact me directly should you wish to discuss further.
Thank you
Kind regards
