Everyone who visits Cairns should do the Skyrail.
Start as a train trip up the mountain do some shopping then down on the sky rail - its fantastic. Everyone down south should do this . Great family trip .
Wow wow wow amazing experience. You have to go on theis if you visit cairns. Absolutes amazimg views. I loved it. Make sure to visit the kuranda markets at the end to. 10/10.
Sailing across a rainforest in a gondola is an incredible experience and was just an amazing time. Loved every minute from the sky rail itself to the various stops which included a ranger guided tour and a stop at a waterfall. We were lucky to have a gondola to ourselves for two which made it more enjoyable. You can pay extra to have a diamond gondola with a glass floor but i found what we had was definitely enough without the additional expense.
I agree with your review. The skyrail was a experience I will always remember it was awesome.
This place is amazing!
Great views over the beautiful Kuranda rainforest.
The only complaint I would have is the price and the looong wait for the cableway.
Yes it is a little expensive but so worth it for the experience.
The most exhilarating experience looking down at the rainforest in your cable car gondola from Cairns to Kuranda. The most enjoyable 2.5 hour experience return or 1.5 hours one way. Each gondola seats up to 6 people, so you can meet new people on your journey. This includes two mid-stations to explore the rainforest intimately before heading to your destination to look around the Kuranda Markets. If you are heading to Cairns this is a definite must do and I enjoyed every moment of my rainforest journey.
I didnt really like sharing the gondola but still a awesome experience.
This experience is incredible. We went up to Kuranda on the train ( gets a bit smokey though) and back on the skyrail. That way was recommended by the locals. The view was amazing and would be missed if you did a return on the train. I will never forget it.
We did the same it was awesome
This is one of, if not the best thing to do in Cairns. If you are afraid of heights don't worry you are quite safe and after a while you get used to it, and after a bit longer you can't see the ground because of the trees. If you are going up to Kuranda, when you get to the top all you can see is trees, and all you can hear apart from the skyrail (which isn't too loud) is nature, and on the way down from Kuranda, once you get to the edge of the mountains the view of Cairns and the coast is simply breathtaking need I say more
Approximate cost: $90 return
Skyrail is definitely something you need to add to your sightseeing To-Do list when visiting Cairns! The views are spectacular, the stops on the way are interesting and it's a unique experience to see the rainforest.
Pricey but amazing and totally well worth it!
We caught the train up on the Kuranda Scenic Railway and the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway back.
We loved the train ride, looking around Kuranda and the 2 stops on the skyrail down however the most incredible part was the actual skyrail! The view and feeling being ontop of the rainforest is breathtaking.
There are a couple of different option for completing the experience. Allow a full day!!
Approximate cost: $250-$290 Family
Starting at the top in Kuranda, the ride was very enjoyable and opened your eyes to the rainforest. The first half of the trip down the range was the beautiful rainforest and rivers, whilst the second half was a spectacular view of Cairns! We got a processed photo which was slightly expensive. I found it good that there were stops along the way with little boardwalks that could be completed.
We love it too.
