This was an unforgettable experience. We travelled up to Kuranda by train and came back on sky rail. Fantastic day out thoroughly enjoyed the train ride but coming back on sky rail was excellent. Good opportunities to stop and take photos. Highly recommended.
Booked the skip the line skyrail and scenic rail gold class for 7 people on the 28th of July. The booking was first confirmed at least a month ago. 2 weeks before the trip, I contact the company to confirm pick-up time and location, been told by the service team that the skyrail is under maintenance and they have to change mu booking to coach and then rail; also they will refund me the difference. The next day, instead of confirming my booking, they cancel my whole booking! when I contact the company, they insist it was my own problem because I book their attraction through Booking.com! They will not help me to rebook. I was eventually able to repurchase the tickets and received the confirmation letter again. Now 2 days before my trip, the company told me they oversold their gold class tickets and downgraded my booking from gold class to heritage class, also they will refund me the difference! Did I not just go through the same hoopla before? How is this acceptable? I am sure will not recommend anyone to use this company for any tours! Horrible service!!
Viator sold a toir that wasnt backed by an operator, no sky train and no dokd class seats. Just fake. Veru dispoointing, will never use Viator again
Great trip certainly worth it. Nice views Download the app as it provides commentary on the sky rail. Definitely pay the bit extra for gold class on the train. Great food good wine and beverages. Excellent staff interaction
The whole experience from the cable car to the train ride back was really cool. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the activities at Kuranda Village but they ended up being the highlight. I ended up going to the Koala, Bird and Butterfly experiences and enjoyed all three. The pictures and videos here will be among the best highlights of my trip of which there are many. Don’t hesitate to book this, the views alone are worth it!
Wonderful experience! Definitely recommend going Gold Class on the train. Great service and friendly staff.
Most fun on our visit to OZ. Our train concierge was magnificent. Car 8 RULZ. Very awesome experience. I Would definitely recommend doing the skyway first then the train at the end to unwind. Thank you for the memories.
Downunder Tours coordinated the day for us and were sperbly organised and kept us well informed . There was a major event on in town on the same day and the comapny ensured we were ont ime and not disrupted. We took the SkyRail to Kuranda and the train on the return trip. The SkyRail,was a great experience, from the moment we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff, through the guided rainforest tour (in the heavy rain!) , and the gorgeous scenery, right up to the departure and the obligatory gift shop. The hike into Kuranda itself was a little uphill and damp but not too difficult. Kuranda was surprisingly interesting and catered very well for the day tripper with plenty of food/drink choices and shops. There were also several attractions to see for a small additional fee. We chose a bird sanctuary, but there was also a butterfly house and a small zoo with all the classic aussie animals on show. The bird house was absolutely amazing and a great photo op. Beware, the Macaws are beatiful, tame birds..but they do bite very hard! The highlight of the day though was the scenic rail trip back to Cairns, we travelled gold class (worth every cent) , Great food , drink and service. The stop overlooking the Barron falls was spectacular , although it might benefit a bit from trimming back some of the undergrowth to improve the view. I realise it is a national park, however it would aid photos a lot. The next great photo op was at Stony creek and this is possibly better than the Barron Falls stop. In Cairns we were met by the friendly Downunder Tours staff, directed to the correct bus and ferried back to our hotel with no fuss. All up a great day, well organised, good value gteat views and some fantastic memories.
It was a worthwhile experience- and I’m glad I did it - however I didn’t need quite so much time at the markets so would have appreciated being able to come back by rail at 2pm gold class. I liked being able to experience the Skyrail (which was great) and the rail which also was great - I just didn’t want to spend so long at the markets
Spent the day on a private tour with Peter as our guide. Unfortunately the railway was not operating, but Peter made up for it with a continuation of our auto tour. Peter passed on his knowledge and experience of the region with his friendly manner. Beautiful scenery, especially views from the skyrail, the to a good lunch and shopping experience in Kuranda. Good tour!
