    A beautiful experience to Karanda on the cable car, stunning scenery. The days instructions on the itinerary states about 1.5 hrs in Karanda which would of been plenty but actually it was 4 hours in Karanda which was far too long. The train journey should of been at the most 2 hours after the cable car, not 4 hours . The train was also a lovely experience but the long time in Karanda which was not stated made it nearly a 12 hour day. Far to long. Especially for young children. Thank you to both coach drivers who were very friendly and knowledgeable.

    This was a great way to see the vast beauty of the rainforest from the trainline that cuts through the mountainside and along the River and waterfalls and ends in the beautiful Kuranda. You'll then have about 4 hours to eat and shop and meet the lovely locals before hopping on the skyrail to enjoy the view from above. I definitely recommend allowing time to hop off at both stops before getting back to base as you will be able to see the massive waterfall up close and catch the refreshing mist it creates as well as a guided tour at the next stop. It's a big day (we got picked up at 8am and we didn't get back to the hotel until just after 6pm) so definitely hydrate, get refreshments at the station before boarding and have a good night's sleep beforehand and make sure you take a had and/or sunscreen.

    The experience was ok. It was extremely hot and later in the afternoon there was a bi tropical storm. The skyrail was great, Down Under Tour's were great but the Kuranda railway was a disappointment. We understand the storm that started before boarding isn't their fault but the waiting left hundreds of passengers drowned as we weren't allowed to board until 30m even though it started raining. There wasn't enough shelter. When we boarded there was rain, thunder and lightning. After an hour and a half of waiting on the train while very wet the train was cancelled. This was due to trees on the line. That's not their fault but the way it was all dealt with was very poor. All passengers had to leave the station to go wait for buses in the rain.

    Enjoyable experience made better by the audio commentary. Take the time to use the QR code on entry and download the app. It’s makes the experience so much better when given an understanding of what you are looking at. Absolutely loved the cassowary that you can have fun with on the app. Helpful happy staff. Highly recommend

    The cable car ride is spectacular but the train ride is slow and a bit tedious despite the awesome engineering. Would recommend going up and back by cable car.
