No transfers to our accomodation in Holloways Beach as stated on invoice. When we just made it in time to the scenic railway, we were only allocated 2 seats out of 3 and my husband had to sit on the floor for the whole trip. NOT HAPPY. But excellent trip on the skyrail, reccommended to all.

I would have liked to have some more time in the town of Kuranda. The train and the skyrail rides were quite nice, though.

Unfortunately due to a landslide the train was not running so I travelled by sky train both ways, the trip was quite good.

Service supplied by the tour operator was A1. The tour to Kuranda by train was exceptional, Kuranda itself has plenty of varied activities, but we walked around taking in all market stall opportunities giving us plenty of time to ourselves returning by sky rail again fantastic! Highly recommend!

This was the most awesome excursion I have ever experienced. From the minute the driver picked us up with a huge smile on her face, we were treated to a royal experience. Every detail and the timetables were explained well. The whole day flowed perfectly. The trip is fast paced and exciting. Many photo opportunities abound with breathtaking scenery on the train, the skyride, helicopter and boat. The crew on the Osprey 5 were unbelievable. They treated us like VIPs and gave 110 percent, each and every one of them. Thank you for an awesome adventure in Cairns I will always remember!

It was a very rainy, stormy day and the skyway was shut down for a while. I think if you are paying as much money as they are asking you to pay, you should not have to ride with another party in the skyway trams. It obstructs your view when two or three other people are sitting directly across from you, and then your only view is over your shoulder or straight down, and after all what are you paying for? The view!

Beautiful train ride, but the skytram is even more amazing. I got the chance to take both as well as visit the culture park. Kuranda was a cute little town with quite a few pricey shops, but it'w worth it just to be in the tropical setting.

A great Sky Rail on the way up, and the train ride was good!

This trip is a very good way of seeing all the sights in 1 day. The Kuranda Railway is excellent, followed by the Skyrail 7000 meters long above the canopy of the trees. Then the helicopter over the Barrier Reef gives you an interesting view of the reef below!

I had such a lovely day. First hours weren't so special, but Skyrail, helicopter tour and Great Barrier Reef were so perfect. I hope to take that tour again. Very good!

If you only have a day or two it's a great way to see the rainforest and the great barrier reef all in one day. But it is a rush at Kuranda market only having 45 mins there. I would suggest adding 20 minutes more at the market if you like shopping and not stop off at the two lookout points on the way down on the skyrail, as the views are simular to the way up on the railway. But worth the money and great views all way round.

Loved the train and Skyrail. Snorkeling fine. The helicopter was awesome.

From the train to the Skyrail, very good views, it was the clearest day! The pilot was informative and humorous. A good way to go quickly to the reef, and for a few beers on the boat on the way back.

Take the train, you will not be disappointed. Pay the extra for Gold Class and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. The waterfalls, mountains, and sky rail are great ways to make memories.

Doing what: 2-Day Reef and Rainforest Package Combo: Green Island Cruise and Kuranda Day Trip
We did the cruise to Green Island the first day and had a full day of a great cruise, snorkeling, glass bottom boat tour, semi-submarine tour, and a good buffet lunch. We had an amazing experience. The second day we took the train into Kuranda rainforest and spent the day watching aboriginal dancing and spear throwing, and had some boomerang throwing lessons. We also got a land and water tour of the rainforest and left on the skyrail. It was a great day. This was a great package combo and I would definitely do it again. Everything went very smoothly with hotel pickups and drop-offs as well. GREAT DEAL!!!!!!
