A great day with as much or as little exercise as you want. SkyRail trip was a worthwhile experience. Experiences in Kuranda such as the butterfly world and bird world worth the visit. The Gold standard train trip from Kuranda was olde-world luxury with wonderfully friendly, welcoming and informative carriage staff. Food and drink a bonus.

This experience is not a full day trip. Took an hour and a half to travel from Port Douglas with many pick ups. The gold class train was good value but the time in Kuranda could’ve been 1 to 2 hours shorter. Ended up catching an Uber back to Port Douglas.

Absolutely brilliant tour (even if you're scared of heights!) Our tour bus driver from Port Douglas was great, good commentary with a bit of humor thrown in. The train ride up was spectacular, Well worth getting the gold class upgrade (comfy seats, snacks and drinks) Kuranda was bigger then we were expecting, lots of choices for food and snacks. The views from the Skyrail back down... phenomenal once you get past being up so high. A great day out!
