Lovely trip - Lovely trip, well organised with plenty of time to explore, lovely views form both train (up) and sky rail (down) good for children and adults. Best time would be after the wet season tho’ the lack of water didn’t spoil it for me

Enjoyable - We took the Skyrail to Kuranda and rode the train back to town. We upgraded to the Gold Class service. That's the way to go. Comfortable seating, served snacks, beer and wine all the way to town. Stopped At the Barron Falls Station to take pictures of the Barron Falls. The train hosts were knowledgeable and friendly.

Do the Gold Class Service! - We rode the train with their Gold Class Service. We not only sat in comfortable seats but we drank wine and had snacks along the way! We were able to open the windows to get better photographs, which I loved. We rode the Skyrail down the mountain which was enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful and it was a great day!

Enjoyable Train Trip to Kuranda - We were picked up from out accommodation in Port Douglas and taken to Freshwater Station in Cairns for the trip up to Kuranda. The train journey was interesting with a couple of stops on the way. There was plenty of room to move about to take photos. On arrival in Kuranda it was just a short walk to the village. There was also a river cruise which we did not see until too late but that would also have afforded beautiful views. We returned on the Skyrail which gave stunning views over the canopy. On arrival back in Cairns we had a short wait for the coach back to Port Douglas. The coach driver in the morning had given us a time frame for the return journey on the Skyrail so we knew how long we could stay at the two stops. This was very helpful. A lovely, well arranged day out.

Into the wild - We landed in cairns with a plan to cover Kuranda village & other scenic locations. We drove down to the sky rail station from there a bus took us to the train station on the way guide in bus gave a brief of Cairns. We boarded the train the coaches were clean & the journey was comfortable. On the way up towards Kuranda we get to see some breath taking views. Train stops at two scenic locations from where you can click beautiful pictures. There are lot of activities you can do once you reach Kuranda. Natures trail is the best, the tall trees & their branches take you into the wild....
