Great trip but maybe a bit much time in Kuranda since we snacked and didn’t sit down to a lunch. We went to the butterfly sanctuary and bird world and enjoyed both. Didn’t do the koala attraction because we had done Featherdale. Up on the cableway in the morning and down on the train in the afternoon on the gold coach where we got unlimited beverages and 3 rounds of snacks and a lot of staff attention.

Very nice experience with Skytrain one way and the Scenic Railway the other. The time in Kuranda village was a bit too long the way it was arranged.

Would not miss it. Traveling on the sky train gives you a wonderful Birds Eye view of the area. We visited the bird, butterfly and koala sanctuaries which was great. There are many unique stores along with a great open market in Kuranda. The train ride was quite amazing and very magical. We had booked the gold card coach. Would definitely recommend.

Spend the extra money for Gold Class. It was a fabulous experience. From the hotel pickup, great driver/guide to the easy navigation of the skyway, Kuranda town, dining options, and shopping to return trip on the train, it was a perfect day.

Amazing experience!! High recommended. An experience not to be missed. Breathe taking views of the rainforest and Barron Falls from both the Skyrail and Kuranda train. Travelled to Kuranda via Skyrail. Stunning views of the rainforest and Barron Falls. We were able to stop and get off at Barron Falls to take photos and explore surroundings, before heading back onto the Skyrail to make our way to Kuranda. Return trip via Kuranda Gold Class train. A beautiful experience with drinks and food served. IC was a lovely and funny host. Train trip was very informative with commentary on how the train line was built. The train stopped to allow passengers to get off and view the Barron Falls. The only downside to booking this tour were the transfers from Kuranda train. We were required to get off at Freshwater rather than continue to head to Cairns City aboard the train. Transfers were a little pricey.

This is a very relaxing and scenic trip. There are several miles of walking trails if you want more of a jungle experience... bring your own water.

I booked this tour months in advance specifically for the Gold Class train experience. On the day of the tour, after boarding the coach, I was told that Gold Class was not available and that my only options were to travel in standard class or not go at all. The driver’s attitude was basically “too bad, that’s your problem.” Very poor organisation and communication. If Gold Class wasn’t available, this should have been communicated properly in advance.

They took care of the logistics to make the sky rail and train ride to/from Kuranda easy and efficient. Hotel pick up on time.
