The best part was the gondola over the rainforest, which goes by way too fast! Depending on how busy it is, you may have to share the a car with strangers - at least the first leg. Walking around the shops up top in Kuranda was fun with some neat local finds (although many “authentic” items are made in Singapore or China) - a total tourist trap. The butterfly refuge was pretty neat to see how they are feeding and their conservation efforts. The train ride down was SUPER long and BLAZING HOT inside without any ventilation, so be aware of that on a hot day. The history along the way down was neat to learn about though.

Good value for money. Staff friendly and helpful. Skyrail goes higher than i thought, but amazing views. Kuranda is a pleasant town geared up for tourists. Train back was also amazing and totally blown away how they built the railway lines back then. Crazy. Would recommend.

We did this trip over 20 years ago , when our kids were little. This time we took our grandchildren. The skyrail up to Kuranda was fabulous. The stops were beautiful and informative. The views from the Skyrail were great. All the staff were also very efficient and friendly. We were really looking forward to the train trip back down but it took forever. Neither of us recall it taking this long on previous trips. The grandkids were very bored by the end. The transfer system was very organised and well run.
