Wonderful views, excellent facilities, clean, tidy, well run and real value for money. It is a must do. We were a bit late in the day getting to Kuranda to set off but decided to drive back to do the markets later in the week which were worth doing as the laid back atmosphere was very enjoyable.

Not sure what the Coach is but if it means the Railway there is a review elsewhere. The Skyrail is a great way to get back from Kuranda. You see the tops of the forest and mountains but have to get off twice to see the really good views. Not as good as the Train but well worth doing.

This is simply one of the best ways to enjoy the rainforest countryside up to Kuranda. We waited a short while before boarding a cable car by ourselves. The ride is peaceful as it rolls up the range, flying above the forest canopy. We were simply amazed at the vast array of plants, animals & birds that we spotted. During... More

Great views of Kuranda, with a stop at the falls. We rode this up and back, without stopping in Kuranda. Best to go early in the morning before it starts filling up. Keep in mind it is about 3 hrs up and back if you get out at the two stops and look around.

Got to the base at 9am. There was about 10 people in line. Only had to wait for about 10 minutes before getting on sky rail. Had a large gift shop and ample parking. Stopped at both stations only took 15 minutes to get round each stop. There are toilets at every station. The cabins were spacious and you had... More

The Skyrail is a great way to visit Kuranda, but we thought that the price was a little steep, and perhaps that is evidenced by the empty gondolas. What was also surprising was that there is no concession pricing. Further the lady informed us that we could get a discount if in a motoring organisation, but your need to arrange... More

The skyrail and train ride are great. Absolutely amazing views of the rainforest and Atherton Tablelands and well worth it. The skyrail trip over the rainforest canopy is a great experience with wonderful views of the Baron Gorge and falls. Just a hint "go when it has been raining as you get a lot more out of the waterfalls". A... More

The Sky Rail was a great experience with a birds eye view into Barton Gorge. Very friendly and helpful staff to assist the various changes. Kuranda is a good choice for shopping for souvenirs. The Train trip back was tiring as it is slow and not comfortable.

A Cairn's holiday must.Travelled both ways on the Skyrail and with mid point stopoffs to wander/explore.The views were magnificent.The town of Kuranda was not the best,although the circular walk along the river was great.Hotel collects were on time.
