What are people saying about Kuranda Scenic Railway

Robert_C, Nov 2023
Wonderful trip through the rainforest.
The train ride up to Kuranda was beautiful. The guide on the train did a great job explaining the history of the railway and pointing out interesting sights along the way. We were given a few minutes to stretch and view Barron Falls on the way up. Walked around town for a few minutes and then visited the Rainforestation for a duck tour. The skyrail included two stops on the way back down. One gave another great view of Barron Falls. Our tour included bus transfer to and from the stations.

Top Cairns attraction
Both the train and ski-rail were memorable trips to Kuranda. Even a bit of rain didn't detract from the beautiful scenery.

Easy way to get to Kuranda without a car
This was such an easy way for us to explore Kuranda. We were picked up at our hotel and able to jump straight in line for the Skyrail up with no wait. At the end of the day we were pampered in the Gold Class car on the scenic railroad. Then taken back to our hotel.
