Skyrail Rainforest/Kuranda Scenic Railway day trip travel guide, Cairns, Australia
Skyrail is a 7.5 km long cableway from the Cairns suburb of Springfield to the small town of Kuranda. There are two stopping points where you are encouraged to alight from the capsules and explore the World Heritage Listed rain forest at ground level.
There are two levels of Skyrail travel: standard and Diamond View. The later lets you travel in glass-floor gondolas and you join a priority line at all terminals and stations. It is a great experience which ever level you select.
Kuranda is a village in the rainforest with several interesting attractions. Three of these are situated in the famous tourist market where there are stalls and restaurants to keep every visitor satisfied. This is where you find the Birdworld Kuranda, Koala Gardens and the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary.
Skyrail operates from 8.45am each day. The Kuranda Scenic Railway departs from Freshwater train station at 8.55am and 9.55am. It departs from Kuranda at 2.00pm and 3.30pm.

Kuranda Scenic Railway | Freshwater station to Kuranda | Cairns, Queensland, Australia
The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a railway line that runs from Cairns, Queensland, Australia, over the Great Dividing Range to the town of Kuranda. The tourist railway snakes its way up through the Macalister Range on the Cairns-to-Kuranda railway line which is no longer used for regular commuter services, but instead operates as a tourist service, operating every day of the year, except Christmas Day. It passes through the suburbs of Stratford, Freshwater (stopping at Freshwater railway station) and Redlynch before reaching Kuranda. The line is used for some freight services and other passenger services, such as The Savannahlander.
The railway is 37 km (23 mi) in length.[1] It takes about one hour and 55 minutes to climb one way including the stop off at the falls.[2]

SKYRAIL RAINFOREST CABLEWAY | KURANDA MARKETS | 2019 CAIRNS AUSTRALIA SERIES | EPISODE 4
Welcome back! In episode 4 of our Cairns travel show series we wake up one of the cast at 4:30am to experience Cairns from a different perspective - Barron Gorge National Park, where you can hike through the rainforest up to the ancient Glacier Rock Lookout which offers panoramic views of Cairns - incredible kick start to a day of adventuring in Cairns, Australia.
Great feedback and advice here:
After the surprise wake up call we head back to the house to pick up the rest of the crew for our next adventure - the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway! During our experience the cast get a bit rowdy on the way up and KIRA IS CHALLENGED to face one of her biggest fears. This is continually voted as one of the best things to do in Cairns and we agree! You get to experience a unique perspective of Australia's World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest as you glide above the treetops. We'd recommend getting the Diamond View gondola so you can watch the rainforest canopy glide beneath your feet through your glass bottom gondola. You'll also get the chance to make stops along the way at Red Peak which looks out over ancient landscapes and Barron Falls where you can see the waterfalls plunge through Barron Gorge National Park. The trip is roughly 1.5hrs one way with the option of going return on the gondolas, or opting to get the Kuranda Railway Train back into town.
Lunch:
Kuranda Hotel - Perched up high in the tropical rainforest just a short walk from the heart of the village and both railway stations is this legendary Aussie style pub that has been serving up ice cold beers and dishing up hearty meals for over 100 years. Linked below.
Kuranda Markets:
This little village in the rainforest is world famous for its markets and is your surprise treat when you reach the top of your Skyrail Cableway experience. Find aboriginal artefacts, handmade crafts, book stalls, fortune reading, delicious food, live entertainment from buskers doing their thing as well as some of the finest opals in the world.
Jewellery House Kuranda:
Crystal Cascades:
One of Tropical North Queenslands natural secrets, accessible by self drive. It's one of those places locals would wish to keep to themselves. We went here after our morning at Kuranda for a quick dip and to chuck a few backies! There are secluded freshwater swimming holes hidden in the tropical rainforest which flow into a series of rock pools that are surrounded by huge granite boulders. Chat to the locals to find your way to this beauty!

Kuranda to Cairns Scenic Railway Trip, February 2012.
As well as cruising overseas, we love to travel in Australia. This video was taken during one of our trips to Port Douglas, Tropical North Queensland.
We took a tour that incorporated the Skyrail cable car from Cairns to a little village called Kuranda. From there we travelled by train back down the escarpment, to Cairns.
If you ever get the chance, we recommend that you do this trip. Just don't be talked into the premium option. Cattle class is the way to go for an unforgettable and authentic experience.
