Scenic Rail, Kuranda Village and Skyrail
Experience the magic of the Australian rainforest during this fun excursion into the trees by train and skyrail.
A scenic train ride passes breathtaking panoramas in northern Queensland. At over 120 years old, the train is a feat of engineering, trekking through hand-carved tunnels, a majestic bridge and the spectacular Barron Falls, a steep, tiered cascade that tumbles from imposing tablelands.
Once at Kuranda, explore this forest village with recreational and educational activities. Shop the Heritage Market for toys, jewelry, local crafts and more or visit the koala sanctuary to see one of Australia’s emblematic creatures.
Afterwards, glide through the trees on the five-mile skyrail in a cable car to relish 360-degree views for total immersion in the rainforest environment of Queensland.
