Danielle

We took the railway up, and the skyrail down (2 ad + 2 tweens). It was a stunning trip up to Kuranda. The landscape is beautiful. The handouts are great, and it was really nice to follow along with the map, corresponding to the audio voice over at points of interest. There was a brief stop at Barron Falls to allow a better view of the waterfall. A truly lovely experience.
Julie

A wonderful trip to Kuranda. We were fortunate to get Gold pass at the last moment. It was very relaxing with drink and morning/afternoon tea service. Very comfy lounge seating. Would recommend 👌

We took the railway up and the cable car down. It was a wonderful experience and we enjoyed the commentary about the railway and the views. It was well organised and there were clean restrooms and a cafe at the station while you wait for the train. Everything ran efficiently and was well organised. We highly recommend this experience A+++
Sander

Great train ride, good views and at the scenic locations the train even slows down to enjoy the views! The combination of train ride and the gondola is not cheap, but its an unique experience with a rich history.

Beautiful place to visit with family, partner, or friends! You can walk, eat at one of the many restaurants, and take the scenic railway to Kuranda. Along the way, you'll stop at a lookout point to take in the stunning views. Once you arrive in Kuranda, you'll have plenty of restaurant options to choose from. You can also stroll around, and be sure to visit the butterfly sanctuary. It's a truly beautiful place! One tip: be sure to buy your tickets in advance, as you'll have the option to choose your transportation. There are two options: you can take a bus to a designated point, then board the railway, or take the railway for the return journey. The train ride offers breathtaking views, making it a great way to cap off your day. Highly recommended!"
