SKYRAIL RAINFOREST CABLEWAY

The Kuranda Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is spread across 7.5 km over Australia's unblemished tropical rainforests. This is an ultimate tropical rainforest experience that lets you glide just meters above the canopy before descending into the heart of the forest. Your first rainforest mid-station is the Red Peak Station- as you slip through the canopy layers, notice the rainforest discovery zone, enjoy ranger-guided boardwalk tours, and gaze out from the scenic lookout point. The next mid-station is the Barron Falls Station, where you'll be surrounded by rich views of the Barron Gorge. Convenient walkways take you to three lookout points, and you may also visit the Rainforest Interpretation Centre! Whether you choose the one-way journey lasting 1.5 hours or the round-trip adventure lasting 2.5 hours, every moment will be filled with awe-inspiring sights and memorable experiences. Located just 15 minutes north of Cairns and a mere 50 minutes south of Port Douglas, you'll find Skyrail's Smithfield terminal. This convenient location serves as the perfect starting point for your Skyrail experience. Diamond View Gondola Upgrade If you're thinking of dialing up your sightseeing experience, consider upgrading to the Diamond View Gondola Skyrail Experience. Glass flooring gives you a better view of the rainforest canopy below you. Not just that, but you'll also have a dedicated boarding queue, with a maximum of 5 passengers per gondola. This experience is available as a 1-way ride only.
