Kuranda Scenic Railway & Skyrail Tour from Port Douglas
JJWal, Sep 2026
Stunning views - amazing train journey
My son and I really enjoyed this trip despite heavy rain through the day. Clear communication pre trip as the weather was a concern. Easy pick up from our Port Douglas hotel to meet Chris our driver and Boson his doggo sidekick! Drive to Cairns where we picked up the Skyrail. Tickets and logistics all arranged by Chris seamlessly.The heavy rain reduced the visibility sadly - and the walking guides at the stations up. The app guide is really good. Kuranda is nothing much more than a village catering to tourists - not somewhere to spend any amount of time.The main event for us did not disappoint. A 90 minute wind down to the valley below is stunning. A beautiful train and a great piece of engineering. We never tired at the views - waterfalls and rock tunnels - and as we were the last carriage - amazing views of the long train curving ahead of us. Beautiful wooden interiors. My adult son is a train fan and we both loved it. It even stopped raining!Chris and Boson met us again and with a brief drink stop it was the disco bus back to PD via drop offs. As a small minibus group that was painless.A huge thanks to all the team - would thoroughly recommend!

Great Gympie steam train trip
Did the VIP Booth Experience with lunch. It cost around $150 Australian. Trip started at 9am, with boarding from 8.40am. Trip goes for 3 hours. We started with breakfast at the Rusty Nails Cafe at the Station. Live piano music was a nice touch. Lovely Trip to Amamoor village, with a tasting plate that was very nice and water included. The helpful guide took our alcohol orders and made sure we were comfortable. Market at Amamoor had local crafts and a busy Cafe. 2 course lunch and included wine/beer was great!

2 Day Great Barrier Reef and Kuranda Scenic Train & Skyrail Tour
Philip_M, Sep 2026
Excellence with professionalism.
The trip to the Barrier Reef was exceptional- the crew whilst friendly were professional and very focused on safety. A fantastic day with such natural beauty topped with the helicopter ride showing the varying colours from above. The equipment provided for snorkelling was of great quality and provided comfort and confidence whilst in the water. A fabulous day and well worth the money.The Skyrsil was only partially operational but a great view of the rain forest from above. Unfortunately the train was available as they found track issues - whilst disappointing, safety first! Still an enjoyable day up in Kuranda and the Skyrail team did extremely well ensuring we still had a great day.

A wonderful trip back in time with a Steam Engine
It was a wonderful trip back in time with a Steam Engine. Definitely start with breakfast at the Rusty Rails Cafe at the train station with the resident piano player. The volunteer staff (at all levels and job descriptions) go our of their way to create a memorable experience. The trip up to Amamoor and back was lovely with excellent commentary. Amamoor is a great little village to wander around.

The Mary Valley Rattler Steam Train
What an amazing experience! The Mary Valley Rattler VIP Booth exceeded all our expectations.Everything was run so professionally by the wonderful volunteers, whose passion and hospitality made the day even more special. The sound and smell of the steam train created such a nostalgic experience, and the charming town of Amamoor was the perfect stop.The lunch was absolutely delicious—the slow-cooked beef short rib was tender and full of flavour, and the chocolate three-ways dessert was the perfect finish.A memorable day out that I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique Queensland experience!

Seamless customer service with Scott. Picked up at our collection point on time and enjoyed the full day efficient and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this tour even though the Skyrail is being upgraded and not running. The lunch voucher was worth it as the food was high quality with the wagyu burger becoming a firm favourite. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Thanks to all involved.

Great day out, despite the weather 😅
We loved the Gold Class Scenic Railway, the steward was very funny and interactive, plus scenery was beautiful. Service and food great, really worth paying the extra $$. Bit of a rainy day, put it is the tropics 😅 Sky rail being serviced so couldn't do that part but price was adjusted to reflect this.

Kuranda Rainforestation & Kuranda Scenic Rail (R1BT)
Preethi, Aug 2026
Fun, scenic and worth it!!
We had such a great day on the Kuranda tour.The Duck tour was way more fun than we expected. Our guide had the perfect mix of facts and jokes, so we learned about the rainforest while actually laughing. Driving straight into the water never gets old.After that, we explored the Kuranda markets and they were great to wander through. Lots of handmade crafts, Indigenous art, and little food spots. It’s touristy in the best way — you can easily spend an hour just browsing.And finally, the Kuranda Scenic Railway was amazing. Sitting back as the train cut through tunnels, past Barron Falls and lush rainforest — it felt like stepping into a postcard.All together it was a great blend of adventure, scenery, and local culture. If you want one day trip from Cairns that gives you everything, this is it.
