  Great way to also support the preservation of the rich flora and fauna of Cairns. Really good to see the beauty pf what the state has to offer

  If you book with Viator, they run you through a third party. This creates additional Hoopes to jump through when you arrive at the Tramway. We had a helpful employee who made a call and printed our tickets so it all worked—book directly with the tram or railway.

  The experience is cool but the tour is a total price gauge to be fair! We got picked up at time of 8.40 am and what was meant to be 45 mins to cable car was 20 mins which is fine , once we got off bus that was it , we done cable car to to village with 3 stops and 2 scenic views before village. We arrived at village at 10.40 am but notice our train back down was 3.30 pm which was very long , yes the village is nice but just about 2/3 hours is enough time or less if you don’t want to pay extra for other activities liked bird sanctuary etc! We had no say on time coming back and train assigned but folk who was on our outbound were showing train back at 2 pm , 5 hours in village was way too much time so felt it was badly organised time wise. I did message and request change in time and got the 2 pm train in end! So for price of 460$ Aus it’s not worth it for two adults! Bus took less than 20 mins to rail car so uber could of sorted that and just buy tickets at company for 132$ each and then uber back once arriving in cairns off train , so about 264$ and maybe 50$ Ubers so 310-320$ aus compare to 460$ aus we paid so easily 140$ just for 30-40 mins bus ride to and from seems lot! Driver was friendly though but I feel price wise it’s not worth it!

  This was a wonderful day the most beautiful scenery and the waterfalls are stunning. The town is quite hilly but very pretty with plenty of options for shopping or eating. Highly recommend doing this day trip

  

  

  

  

  

• Kuranda village train and skyrail

  We took the train ride up to Kuranda and the Sky Rail back down. This is the recommended route. The train was a replica of what was used to transport people back in the day. Be advised, on a warm humid day, the lack of AC on board can be uncomfortable, bring a portable fan, you will thank me later! The train ride waws about 2hours going up- its a slow go- one stop at Barron Falls, you can get out for about 10mins and take some great photos. Depending on the time of year, the falls were be stronger than others. There was an automated recording documenting certain points of interest along the train route and you are given a map to follow along. Kuranda village is super cute. Lots of gift shops, different places to eat and get drinks. We did the Koala experience which is an extra purchase and well worth it. You do not hold the little guy but you can touch / pet it and get to take a picture with it as well. We purchased all tickets ahead of time just to guarantee we had a spot. We also got to interact with the Kangaroos slightly , they seemed to be bothered by the rain and did not have much interest interacting with us. Sky rail return lets you get off at two stops to enjoy small walks thru the rainforest. Return trip was approx 45min to an hour. Soaring high over the rainforest offered impeccable views of the coastline. Highly recommend this experience.

• BIG disappointment with Viator

  Most disappointing tour with Viator ever! When we book a tour through you we expect MORE than if we had booked directly with the original vendor. In most cases things like pickups and return add value but in this case that was Not an option so we paid much more through Viator than if we just showed up and paid the gate retail price yet received nothing different. we are disappointed in Viator for charging more and NOT adding any service or value The trip itself was nice with great views of the rain forest. It is the added cost with no value add that we are upset about

  Logistics provided by tour company were flawless. Scenic train ride to Kuranda was nice and Skyrail back down, over and through the rainforest was interesting. But the 3 hours in the schedule at Kuranda was too much time for us.

  Making bookings from Viator is one of the biggest mistake by me Spoil all my holidays by cancelling last minute Never going to repeat this mistake again in future Please be careful they just take money and then keep on waitlist

  The train ride is a leisurely affair with an opportunity to get off and take photos on the way up. We spent our time in Kuranda away from the busiest tourist traps and found some small markets and quiet cafe. It’s most busy when there’s a cruise ship in Cairns but still enjoyable. The cable car back down was spectacular and we were collected on time at the end of the trip.
