    Very nice to get picked up and delivered to our hotel by nice people. We did not have enough time in Kuranda to see and shop before having to return. We had no idea there would be such wonderful shopping. We would suggest making a later time available for return and clarifying the type and amount of shopping available.

    My husband and I found the tour a great pleasure to go on and we have recommended it to all our friends and family. We have the greatest respect for the drivers and we could not fault them at all. I will say it again it was the best time we ever had and we will be doing it again when we go back up there.

    This is a nice operation all around, but the schedule is rushed, as there is a lot to see and do. We asked to extend our train return, as more time is needed on this trip, and were accommodated. We had to wait to start due to crowds, and were not able to leave until ten in the morning, so time was lost. It would be worth staying over in Kuranda longer or even overnight.

    Would have liked more time in Kuranda. Went on a river boat ride and loved it. Thank you.

  5. Scott S

    Amazing way to see the rainforest in Cairns. By doing the sky rail and train you get to see so much more.

  6. Alan D

    Every thing went to plan, all aspects good, from pick-up to drop-off. Thanks.

    We took the railway up, and we returned by the sky tram. Kuranda has many tourist shops. The wildlife/cultural park offered by the Viator package is well worth the money.

    It was a beautiful experience! The train ride allowed to enjoy the scenery but the sky rail was more exciting. In Kuranda was available buses to take us and bring us very good lunch and a ride on the amphibious Excellent!!

    Everything ran very smoothly and the scenic railway, rainforestation tour and the sky rail were great things to do for our kids and us alike. If anything the bus pickup at the end of the day could have been much earlier as we did not feel we needed as much time as allowed for in Kuranda or coming back down on the sky rail. Would suggest an hour earlier pickup.

    The train and skyrail were wonderful, surprised pleasantly by the ‘travelogue’ supplied by Queensland rail, and the attentiveness of the the staff on the train. A little disappointed in the village of Kuranda itself – the famous handmade markets now seem to be occupied by some aging hippies, selling imported goods. The Honey shop was good, and the shops selling Aboriginal art were also good.

    Great train trip, good information and loved that the train stopped for photos at Barron falls. Loved the town at Kurranda. The Butterfly House and the Bird House were good to visit. Enjoyed wandering through the old market area. I wasn’t keen about travelling back on Skyrail, as I don’t like heights, but the view from up there is amazing. The staff were great. Would have preferred an option of travelling back by train or bus.

    The tour was so well organised, the staff all lovely and the air rail something to be experienced. I’d recommend this to anyone.

    I had a great time. The crews are very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Tours run down are well-planned and smooth. Coach has been arranged and stand by at the pick-up beforehand, so customers don’t have to wait long. A itinerary together with the tickets of the train and cable car is provided, customers could manage their trip without a problem. Really appreciated the attentive arrangement, will definitely join the local tour operator in the future!

    Starts with an hotel pickup straight to the train station. A great train journey up the mountains with a good live commentary and opportunities for some good photo opportunities. The old fashioned train, coaches and stations really added to the atmosphere.
    The cableway return journey was also very good, with a couple of stopping points where you can get off to explore and take more photos.
    The only downside is the village of Kuranda which was a bit touristy for our liking but might well suit others more.
    Worth checking with your tour on return times – we were told one time – came down a bit early and found we had just missed an earlier bus that we did not know about.

    Rubbish tour, totally waste of money to be pushed around by an inept and unresponsive tour

  16. Melissa I

    Was very disappointed. Down under tours lied about this. They say the tour is 10 hours but it was more like 5. We were scheduled for our sky rail at 9:45am which took us to Kuranda. Then had to be on the train to leave at 2pm. Because it was half the time they said we missed an excursion and lost $94

  17. Albert S

    Nice and interesting…the train was nothing special, the town was a little more commercial than I expected, but still fun, and a lot to see. Make sure to take a photo with the Koala at the Koala park. Not many good lunch options…

    Our trip included the Tjapukai Aborigini Village. A must to do. Spent around 2 hours doing so many different things including spear and boomarang throwing, joining in the dancing and singing and learning many interesting facts and stories.Brilliant place.The 40minute Skyrail had some amazing views as it glided over the rain forest with stops on the way to the Kuranda village which was a pleasant surprise. Lots of little shops and a market selling souveneirs to suit everyones tastes and lots of places to get refreshments. The highlight for me was a visit to the Koala Sanctuary where you can cuddle a koala and take photos as well as being given a large photo. Also the opportunity to hand feed the wallabys and kangaroos.Everyone very friendly and helpful. A great day and worth every penny.

    We enjoyed a wonderful day on the Kuranda Scenic Railway Day trip. We were collected on time and transported comfortably to the historic railway station that would transport us along the Kuranda Rail journey. The journey itself was fantastic and the stories that accompanied us on our way through the beautiful scenery was excellent. The skyrail journey on the way back was equally exciting and enjoyable providing us with a different but magnificent view of the rainforest. We would recommend this journey to anyone

    Picked this tour as wanted to rail up to Kuranda and sky rail down and have time at Kuranda. The train trip was great, stopped a couple of times on the way up for photos, plenty to see in Kuranda, trip included the Rainforest park with lunch which was lovely and plentiful. After feeding the kangaroos and seeing other animals, it was off on the ‘duck’ for an adventure, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, didn’t do all parts of the tour as wanted to go to butterfly sanctuary which was lovely. Sky rail trip was amazing , stopped off a couple of times to walk around the areas. Really recommend this day, picked up from northern beaches.
