    The experience was wonderful. We got very lucky to have a great weather that day. Get ready to be speechless with view from the sky of the rainforest and also via the scenic train. I love the way they explain the historical moments through each part of the pathway down with the train, it was very impressive. Me and my partner absolutely loved it. We felt like we were riding to Hogwarts! 🤣

    Brilliant experience the skyrail is incredible as us the scenic railway It was unfortunate that we hadn't realised that it was a public holiday so much of the village market was closed and some cafes closed early There was an issue when we stopped on the scenic railway for photo opportunities that one of our group stepped on a tile which gave way causing her to fall into a pit and hurting her legs and ankle staff on train did bring ice packs but this does need to be checked in case the are further sink holes appearing

    Amazing views. Friendly staff at Skyrail and Kuranda. Pre-paid ticketing worked well. Audio guide started well, but wouldn't re-start after I switched my phone to photo mode and back. It would have been great to see the railway engine, but the train was so long it was outside the accessible platform. Pick up time I was given was over an hour early, NOT a comfortable wait outside my hotel.
