Kuranda Skyrail & Train – So Many Options!

A visit to Kuranda is a must do when visiting Cairns. The Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Train are the two ways to visit this little rainforest village. The day is not so much about Kuranda Village itself – it is more about the journey.

The Skyrail provides spectacular views over the canopy of the rainforest on its 45 min journey. There are 2 stops on the way – an info centre and a boardwalk, so we allow 90 mins to do the whole journey including the 2 stops. The Kuranda scenic train also takes about about 2 hours from Cairns Station and 90 minutes if using Freshwater Station. There are only 2 departing each morning at either 8.30am or 9.30am and 2 trains down from Kuranda – 2 pm and 3.30 pm .

Most people decide to travel 1 way skyrail and 1 way train which you can do in either direction.
