What to expect

The Cairns Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is one of Tropical North Queensland's true must-do experiences, taking you on a journey aboard a comfortable gondola up, up and away above the canopy of the stunning, Wet Tropics World Heritage listed Rainforest. As the gateway to the iconic "village in the rainforest", Kuranda, the Skyrail spans a 7.5km distance and features several stops for you to disembark and explore along the way, while providing outstanding views over the lush rainforest canopy and all the way out to the waters of the Great Barrier Reef beyond.

The massive expanse of the rainforest takes on a whole new perspective when viewed from this angle, and aboard the Skyrail you'll be able to take in the likes of cascading waterfalls, numerous different types of trees and ferns, and glimpses of regional wildlife. With an overall length of around 45 minutes for the ride itself - but far longer if you take the day to disembark and explore - there are few ways from "getting to A to B" in the world that can offer the type of viewing experience that Queensland's Skyrail Rainforest Cableway can offer, so if you're visiting the Cairns and Port Douglas region then be sure to book YOUR rainforest adventure online today.
