Journey above World Heritage Wet Tropics rainforest on Skyrail, explore Kuranda Village's Heritage Markets and wildlife sanctuaries, and witness Barron Falls cascading through Barron Gorge National Park.

Activity itinerary

Cairns
  • 30m
Your guide collects you from your Cairns accommodation and shares insights about Djabugay Aboriginal heritage and World Heritage Wet Tropics during the scenic drive to either Skyrail Smithfield Terminal or Freshwater Station, depending on optimal daily routing to avoid crowds.
Skyrail Rainforest Cableway
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Glide 7.5 kilometers above pristine rainforest canopy with Coral Sea views. Stop at Red Peak Station to walk elevated boardwalks through ancient forest, then visit Barron Falls Station to view spectacular waterfalls cascading into Barron Gorge National Park from multiple lookout platforms.
Kuranda Village
  • 2h
Explore Kuranda's famous Heritage Markets (established 1915) featuring Indigenous art, local crafts, and Australian souvenirs. Optional visits to Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, Birdworld Kuranda, or Koala Gardens (entry fees separate). Enjoy lunch at local cafes or restaurants, and discover village galleries and rainforest walks.
Barron Falls (Pass by)
View Barron Falls from both Skyrail's station lookout and during the Kuranda Scenic Railway journey. Most spectacular during wet season (December-April) when tropical rainfall increases water volume dramatically.
