About This Tour

Discover Far North Queensland's rainforest on this self-guided Kuranda tour with return transfers from Cairns City. We combine two iconic attractions - the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway and Kuranda Scenic Railway - with flexibility to explore Kuranda Village independently. Journey above World Heritage Wet Tropics' rainforest on the Skyrail with panoramic views of waterfalls and dramatic landscapes. With four hours in Kuranda Village, browse the Heritage Markets, visit optional wildlife sanctuaries, enjoy the local eateries, and photograph the village. Return via the 1891 Kuranda Scenic Railway through 15 tunnels and 37 bridges whilst onboard commentary shares Queensland railway history. Your friendly driver ensures door-to-door service from Cairns City with Skyrail and Railway tickets included. This independent-style tour is perfect for travellers who prefer exploring at their own pace. Cruise passengers receive guaranteed timely return to Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal.
