Kuranda Scenic Tour

Kuranda, at the top of the Barron Gorge, has been linked to Cairns by a historic Kuranda Scenic Railway since 1891 and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, a gondola cableway, since August 1995. The colourful "village in the rainforest" has a tradition of imaginative art and crafts including artifacts from local Aboriginal communities. Restaurants and food stalls are culturally diverse and plentiful. Other attractions include The Butterfly Sanctuary, Birdworld, bungy jumping and a rainforest Wildlife Noctarium.

Itinerary

From Port Douglas, travel the scenic Cook Highway on a comfortable air conditioned 20 seat bus, enjoying the panoramic views over the Coral Sea.

Winding through the Barron Gorge, the train line passes by waterfalls, over bridges, through 15 hand carved tunnels and breathtaking mountain scenery. Stops at the Barron falls for a photo opportunity.

Glide over the rainforest for a birds eye view of the living canopy just below the 6 person gondola. Marvel at the panoramic view of the coral coast and beyond to Green Island.
