Rainforest Nature Park including Scenic Rail and Skyrail
Our driver will greet you this morning at your Cairns City Accommodation, collect your voucher, and issue your Kuranda Boarding Pass. We will then transfer you to Freshwater Station. Enjoy the historical rail journey to Kuranda, with breathtaking views across Cairns’ cane fields to the tropical rainforest. Upon arrival in Kuranda, it’s time to explore this fascinating village.
Then, transfer to Rainforestation Nature Park. Set on 40 hectares of lush gardens and tropical rainforests, board the amphibious Army Duck for a different look at the rainforest. An experienced guide will show you unique tropical fruits, ancient rainforest plants and search for native animals as you meander through the rainforest. Also included is a visit to the Koala and Wildlife Park. Smile at a crocodile and see kangaroos.
Finally, make your way directly to the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway boarding line – there is no need to queue as your tickets are already on your Boarding Pass. Enjoy your 7.5km journey over and through World Heritage protected Rainforest. Your Boarding Pass is your ticket for this iconic rainforest experience that includes time at both Red Peak and Barron Falls stations. Explore rainforest boardwalks and lookouts and the Rainforest Interpretation Centre. Complimentary guided boardwalk tours are offered throughout the day at Red Peak Station.
After arriving at the Smithfield Skyrail terminal, travel back to Cairns by coach, in air-conditioned comfort.
