Excellent!

Published on Feb, 2025

Excellent trip. We took the Skyrail up to Kuranda first and took train back and we were really happy we did that way round. Stunning views along the way. Baron Falls is amazing! Number of things to do at the top and you have time to fit plenty in.

Nature's beauty

Published on Feb, 2025

This is a wonderful experience, even though the train was canceled. The rainforest and falls are gorgeous. Kuranda is a wonderful town with fun things to do.

If you don’t like...

Published on Feb, 2025

If you don’t like shopping you can pay to see a butterfly sanctuary, a bird sanctuary, or a Koala exhibit. Both the gondola ride and train were wonderful.
