Kuranda Gondola and Sky Rail

Published on Nov, 2024

It was amazing. I don’t like heights but the Gondola up was so worth it and the staff were efficient and reassuring. I preferred the sky rail to the gondola but I would recommend you do both. The stops to get off and walk to view the waterfall were great as well.

Fantastic Day Out

Published on Sep, 2024

Great train journey to Kuranda, really enjoyed Kuranda itself with the Butterfly & Bird activities, fully recommend. Great journey back with the Sky Rail.

A lovely day. Loved the gondola ride down.

Great day

Published on Aug, 2019

Picked this tour as wanted to rail up to Kuranda and sky rail down and have time at Kuranda. The train trip was great, stopped a couple of times on the way up for photos, plenty to see in Kuranda, trip included the Rainforest park with lunch which was lovely and plentiful. After feeding the kangaroos and seeing other animals, it was off on the ‘duck’ for an adventure, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, didn’t do all parts of the tour as wanted to go to butterfly sanctuary which was lovely. Sky rail trip was amazing , stopped off a couple of times to walk around the areas. Really recommend this day, picked up from northern beaches.

Awesome Day

Published on Jul, 2019
