Take the train to scenic Kuranda, glide over the rainforest and visit the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park on a day trip from Cairns. You'll travel from Cairns aboard the Kuranda Scenic Railway, take an amazing ride on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway and experience vibrant Aboriginal culture at Tjapukai.

Your breathtaking journey on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, one of the world's most scenic train routes, will take you through tunnels and across bridges spanning spectacular gorges. You'll view the Barron Falls before arriving at beautiful Kuranda Station, where you'll have free time to explore the markets and attractions of this “Village in the Rainforest”.

Then you'll board the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for one of the world's most beautiful rainforest experiences. As you glide over the rainforest canopy, take advantage of the two stops en route to enjoy a guided walk through the rainforest or visit the CSIRO Interpretive Center.

When you arrive at the Skyrail terminal, it’s a short walk to the fascinating Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, where you'll discover Australia's ancient culture through theatre, stage shows and demonstrations.
