“Our driver Chris was amazing, he kept everyone entertained all day. From his first cheery welcome to the perfect sing song on the way home. The day ran smoothly, with his clear instructions and his jaunty hat so he could always be seen in a crowd! 😂 A great day was had by all. The Skyrail was exhilarating and the 40 minute ride gave lots of time to see the scenery and the views were spectacular. This trip in my opinion was well worth the money.”

5.Kuranda Scenic Railway Day Trip from Port Douglas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 61 reviews · from $190

Ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway, explore Kuranda, and return by Skyrail on a full-day rainforest trip from Port Douglas.

“The Kuranda Scenic Railway trip is an excellent day out. We caught the train from Cairns to Kuranda and then got the Sky-rail back. A little bit rushed so don't expect to see all the attractions of Kuranda in one day. We saw the Kuranda Birdworld and Kuranda Koala attractions which were both wonderful. The train trip was interesting with many bridges and tunnels to navigate. The Sky Rail was great with the view of the rainforest and waterfalls to enjoy. Not to be missed.”
