The Kuranda rail trip up and the Skyrail down where awesome trip and views. The Rainforeststation / Pamagirri Aboriginal experience didn't live up to its name , whether it was because we where Queenslanders & it was our third look at rainforest on this trip (The package was great ) Duck ride worth it . But i will applaud the Aboriginal experience as they seem to have a couple of inexperienced dancers and the drive to perform was not there as COVID culled the crowds of hundreds and our crowd was twenty .

Great tour but too many things to see and do in one day. Also did not expect to have to use a shuttle bus to go to different places instead of an assigned bus and tour guide. Did not like riding shuttle bus with people standing

Would recommend. You cover a lot in one day which makes it worth it!

Despite how hot it was (February 2020), we had an amazing time! Everything was so well planned, and had an itinerary to go with it. The bus driver was so helpful and provided instructions on how everything would work. We paid for the butterfly exhibit separately and we were glad we went to it, so we probably should have bought the package that included that. Not sure if it is always like this, but we had a smaller groups so all the shows, and tours felt more like private tours which was great. Staff was so friendly. BBQ lunch was great.

Enjoyable trip up on the train with great views. Karunda is good for a body’s with activities to keep you busy all day. Cable car down provides different views of the rain forest & is fun. Make sure you get off at the 2 stations to look at the views.

loved the train ride ; the wildlife park; the koala picture opportunity keep in mind that you will be at the train station early until everyone arrives for the departure also i was not keen on the 1 and 1/4 hr shopping time in the little village i did not need all that time.

Scenic train ride was fun. Village was nice with authentic shops. Rainforestation was fascinating. Pamagirri members were friendly and patient in sharing thei culture. Could pet and feed kangaroos that were not caged. Fed us a good hardy lunch. Skyrail ride is long and stunning. Most worthwhile. Bus driver Mohammed was friendly, entertaining and informative. Great experience altogether.

All the activities during this trip were amazing. I especially enjoyed the skyrail cableway ride over the rainforest. The view was breathtaking. The train ride was wonderful, the Kuranda village is interesting, the food was sumptuous and everything was done according to plan. Our driver and our guide were very accomplished and friendly. I will definitely recommend this to my friends.

Had a great day taking the train up the mountain and through the forest, then got a surprisingly good bbq lunch at the wildlife park. This was followed by a koala viewing, aboriginal experience (including throwing boomerangs!) and then hanging out with some wildlife including some kangaroos and wallabies! We ended the day with a beautiful rude on the skyrail and was able to see all of Cairns. It was so beautiful!

Great scenery, a little rushed
Emma_L
, Aug 2019
A great tour and day, fantastic information provided on where to be when, however there’s a lot fitted in and it did feel quite rushed at times. The Aboriginal Pamagirri Experience felt a little poorly planned, we had about 45 people in our group for the demonstration whilst the other group was about 10. If you want a photo taken with a Koala then rush lunch and go straight there or you won’t get another chance, if you want until the time they say the queues are too long and you’ll have to decide to miss that or your next tour. The SkyRail is an amazing experience, however make sure you have a head for heights! Overall a fantastic tour, great for all ages and would definitely recommend.

This was pretty much a full day's...
Don V
, Dec 2017
This was pretty much a full day's outing...and well worth it. Prepare to step back in to time, The narration and the twisting turning on the Scenic Railway sets the stage. The duck boats place you into the experience of the rain forest. And to hold a cuddly Koala and/or pitch a boomerang is rather special in itself. And then there is the return to the outside world by gliding over the top of the forest which leaves one with the knowledge you have been treated to something unique.

Great day if you have limited time and want to see as much as possible. If you're looking for a more natural wildlife and native experience, this is not the trip. The views from the train and skyrail are remarkable. But the rest is a bit touristy.

John S
, Sep 2016
This was a great day tour! I loved how much was included and how you were able to see the rain forest, the marketplace and of course, the animals. The koalas and kangaroos were definitely a highlight, as was the wonderful Skyrail ride down the mountain. The views were breathtaking and it was amazing to see the rain forest from that viewpoint, after having just been in it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairns as it's not too far from the beach cities but gives a totally different perspective and experience.

Carla R
, Jul 2016
This tour was disappointing. The ride up on the skyrail is exciting, but you are not given enough time at all in Kuranda to do anything. They have wildlife encounters, a butterfly sanctuary, shops, eateries, and pathways. They only allow, on the tour, about 40 minutes in Kuranda. The advertisement stated all of those features but it was disingenuous because you actually don't have time to do any of it. We did not do the Rainforestation portion because we wanted to stay in Kuranda a bit longer than 40 minutes. It should be broken up into 2 tours because it is too rushed.

Excellent Skyrail Cableway trip up...
Keith B

Excellent Skyrail Cableway trip up to Kuranda in the morning, but return trip via Scenic railway the afternoon was very hot and the views not so good if you are sat at the aisle end of the seats. Also felt the Rainforest trip intinerary was a bit cramped and rushed, would have like to have spent more time viewing the animals.
