"While in Australia, visiting this place was a must, and it certainly didn't disappoint. We took the Skyrail and had a lovely day feeding kangaroos, holding a koala, exploring the butterfly atrium and bird aviary. Spending the day shopping and eating made it even more delightful." on the way down stopped to see the amazing waterfall.

Everything was great! Michael was attentive, informative. He picked me up at my hotel and dropped me off. No worry about where to meet! The Skyrail and train are a must for a great view and scenery of Australia .

Michael is the greatest! He is smart, knowledgable, and goes the extra mile. I can not say enough good things about him and his tour.

This tour was one of the highlights of my Australia trip. Michael was an excellent host, organized, punctual, knowledgeable and efficient. I hadn't originally signed up for the Skyrail portion but Michael suggested I add it in and I'm so glad I did, it was amazing. I've been traveling in Australia for 6 weeks and taken a number of tours. This was the absolute best for value and well worth it. I highly recommend it and Michael is who you want as your guide.

Train delay provided us additional shopping and eating time, which was welcomed. Preferred the Skyrail going up over the train coming down because it had better views.

Justine_O

This is a fabulous way to spend your day when visiting Cairns. We enjoyed Michael's friendly and informative commentary from the bus, the amazing views from the Skyrail and informative ranger talk at the stop along the way. With many attractions in Kuranda the time zooms past - we went to the Butterfly, Koala and Bird enclosures, plus squeezed in a short look around the shops and lunch before heading back down on the scenic railway. Michael met us to take us back afterwards - a great day out.

Yasmin_D

Amazing tour. Beautiful scenery. Host Michael was fantastic and very informative! Lots of knowledge I highly recommend this tour

Patricia_B

All he did was pick us up, drop us at the skyrail, then returned at the end to take us back to the hotel. If you've got your own transportation, you'll come out cheaper driving yourself to the skyrail station. That being said, the Skyrail experience, town of Kuranda, and the railway ride are not to be missed.

Lovely day out. Michael is a great tour guide. Very friendly. Skyrail was amazing with wonderful views. For someone scared of heights I had no trouble. Kuranda is a lovely little town and the train ride back had lovely views. 10 out of 10 would recommend
