The journey was wonderful the destination underwhelming

4.00The train and sky tram were a great experience. I recommend the train there and the sky tram for return. I highly recommend Gold Class. It is worth every penny. The views on the train and the waterfall stop were breathtaking. The sky tram experience was equally impressive. I suggest taking the time to download the audio recording and playing it as it is informative and entertaining. Beware, the sky tram station WiFi is difficult to connect to so the download may take awhile but it is worth it. My only negative experience was the time in Kuranda is too long if you are not a shopper, which I am not. We visited Koala Gardens and the Butterfly Sanctuary then walked through the many markets and galleries. We still had 3 hours until our scheduled departure. There should be an option for an earlier shuttle if you don’t want to shop for 4 hours.
The best rail trip we have taken

5.00Down Under Tours provided a great full day co-ordinating all tickets, pick ups & drop offs, even to my Port Douglas Resort. Everything was outlined & and A4 sheet to provide the itinerary for clarity taking the Gold Upgrade. Whilst this day was a solo day for me I had no issues getting the value. I did the train first then later in the day the Skyrail & I loved it. The train with Gold Upgrade provided Macadamia nut package, cheese platter, Mango Sorbet & my personal early beer (10.30am was my OK). Staff were great on our carriage.

5.00A must do we caught the train first and went gold you are greeted with a drink and when you board train more drink and food for journey which was fantastic great views you reach your destination with lots of time to visit all the attractions and the Skyrail on way back you get great views of rain forest
Not as good as it could have been

2.00We wanted to take train first then cable car. Was told that’s what we had, but when we arrived it was opposite. When you take cable car first you have to stay all day and we were ready to leave 3 hours before the train. Very disappointed in our experience
