Listen up! The commentary aboard the Kuranda Scenic Rail is fascinating and adds more meaning to the journey, beyond the spectacular views - especially when you consider the massive feat it would have been building the railway line.

Great value and easy to book. Was a little confusing about pick up point as there are two Pullman hotels but found the right one. The bus driver was fabulous, humouress and gave a great commentary. Very clear and helpful about returning to Cairns. Scenery and Kuranda train highly recommended.

We enjoyed most of the experience. Due to weather, the train was cancelled so we had skyrail up and down. We had a delay of 1.5 hours with skyrail at the Barron Falls station which then impacted on our time in Kuranda. If opportunity and finances allow, would definitely do it again if only for the train ride.

We would like to thank you for your help with our Kuranda Train and Skyrail trip.
