Very well organised trip up by Skyrail and bsack by Scenic Railway. Have 3-4 hours in Kuranda which is plenty unless you want to visit the Butterfuly House or go for a hike. The Skyrail is really great with magnificent views and gives great idea of how huge the rainforst is. The Rail trip is so very interesting the history involved in the creation of it. Was a reall great day out.
The souvenir shops at both ends of trip were the best I had seen in Cairns.

The score on the review does not relate to the actual activities, which were fantastic and I would highly recommend. The Rainforestation Centre was great with the Aboriginal dancing, music playing, spear throwing and boomerang throwing, but in particular the WW2 Duck Vehicle trip was great! The Kuranda Skyrail was also great allowing for some really good pictures and views. The scenic train was good although better if you get a window seat. No comment on the village or butterfly sanctuary as due to some issues with the train (1 HR late) I couldn't see these. The main issue was I believe it oversold a tour with a guide. The reality was a bus to the train station, with a driver who offered some entertaining narrative and then you are own your own. The activities themselves are narrated but I kind of expected a tour guide who would give a bit of history about the place beyond the specific activities. Feel like I could have booked each bit individually and had exactly the same experience, which is not what I expect from a guided tour

Loved everything about the attraction particularly the train trip, the Barron Falls and the Skyrail.

Generally a wonderful way to see the rainforest. Fantastic views from above on the skyline and wonderful views on the way down on the train
I went with my sister and we are pretty savvy but we needed more direction on where to meet our guide. For the first part of our trip we were on our own and unsure how long to spend at each stop on the skyline part of the tour. If I had to do it over I would have given myself more time to explore the markets along the way. There is a wonderful marketplace right next to the butterfly sanctuary that we could only spare 10 mins to see.
Beyond that we enjoyed learning about the culture and the demonstrations of spear throwing didgeridoo playing and got to throw a boomerang!
Food provided was good and what I would expect at a place feeding many people

Great day and activities! The bus driver was super friendly and shared lots of interesting facts along the drive. The train was clean and informative, as well, which we both enjoyed. The market was cute. Tiny. More shops than a flea market type atmosphere. We decided to skip the butterfly and shop during the allotted time. We appreciated the flexibility of schedule and they pointed out at the start of the day the critical times when we had to convene again. The foreststation place was great with animals (even kangaroos you can pet - acting more like pets!) and we stopped immediately upon arrival to not miss out, to get a koala meet and greet time which was awesome! You do actually hold the koala for a few moments while they snap a picture. Skyrail down had beautiful views. Overall a great day!

We experienced so much in this full day of adventures! The sky rail was great as was the train ride and the rain forest. The highlight was finally seeing a kangaroo and koala for our first time!

OMG, what a great excursion. The train ride was scenic and the Skyrail was awesome. I felt very special.

Really enjoyed most of our outing. The train ride up was very scenic. Loved the waterfall. Once there in Kuranda , we did a quick walkabout of the butterfly sanctuary. Interesting . The buffet was okay... nothing memorable. The ride on the duck boat was fun. Our driver was entertaining and had lots of interesting facts to share about the flora and fauna. We did get to try to throw a boomerang. As well, we learned a bit about traditional methods of hunting . The skyride over the rainforest provided excellent vistas.

Incredible experience, great guides, sublime places…
We loved our day in the forest. The meeting with the animals, the train to get to the top, the introduction to Aboriginal dances and music and the sublime end in the cable car!
