We had a great day enjoying gold class on the railway and then the wildlife package that included koalas, birds and butterflies. The on board service was excellent with lovely tea and tasty treats. We purchased at the koala place a chance to hold a koala and have our picture taken. It was delightful. The sky ride back was great with a second view of the magnificent waterfalls. The train stops at one side and the cable car at the other side. At a different stop we had a ranger give us a short tour of the rainforest. It was a great day and we highly recommend it.

First of all The trip is well organised by viator. It was hassale free. Now we enjoyed karunda scenic railway with most amazing views, learning about its history.

The experience was lots of fun!!
The weather didn’t cooperate very much- lots of rain!!
Barron falls was amazing
Both true train and sky rail were good

The rail was shutdown due to weather conditions. Apparently the wet season shuts the railway down this time of year. No warning until the day before.

The tour operator canceled the tour. We did not find out until we called after waiting at the pick up location and no pickup.

Tour operator failed to notify me that the tour was cancelled and in fact tried to upsell me the day before our scheduled tour to a "waterfall" tour. They failed to pick us up at the designated location in Cairns, and cancelled us without notice. We took an Uber to the Skytrain on our own and paid separately for the Skytrain. A very nice manager at the Skytrain called this tour operator for us and was told that they'd cancelled our tour - taht was the first we knew of it. The Kuranda experience itself was meh - not horrible, not terrible, not great either. BTW, I emailed the tour operator two days ago and they didn't even respond to my email. Do yourself a favor - rent a car for the day and drive up there on your own. You'll save money and won't have to deal with these folks.

They planned this experience out really well! The train and skyrail were really unique/beautiful experiences, and there was plenty of time in the quaint town of Kuranda. Would definitely recommend. The train does get pretty hot though, so bring a fan!

Our suggestion is Skip the train ride and do both ways on the skyway. It is fantastic ride on the skyway. Much cheaper also. You will get to see the beautiful natural forests just beneath your cable car .. it is a wonderful experience. The train views are not great. No air conditioning. You have to share a small seat with 3 other passengers. The train is old fashioned and not comfortable at all. Sky ride was so much fun especially after the train. We enjoyed sky ride very much. It just feels like you’re flying.
