Mahesh E5.0Sep 2024The Barron Falls and the story around the Railway's construction. Also the rides on the cable car and the trainKuranda Day Trip
Kevin K5.0Sep 2024This trip was really amazing. An easy pick up at a near by Hotel to the very end was awesome. The Skyrail was so much fun and relaxing with a ride across the forest with a few stops along the way like you were a bird cruising at the tree tops. Kuranda was a beautiful little town with lots to do. We went to the Koala center and got to hold a Koala bear. Had my first meat pie at Annabel’s Take Away Pie Shop. It was really good so do yourself a favor and stop by there and get one. Took the scenic train back down the mountain with a few photo stops along the way and tunnels and that was also a lot of fun. Everything was clean and all the staff throughout the day were very friendly and professional. No doubt this is a fantastic trip for everyone, young and older, couples, groups and families. Met and exceeded all my expectations. We went in September so it wasn’t really crowded. Do yourself a favor and do it.Wow
