Experience Cairns Favorite Attraction, The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway

Experience the beauty of the rainforest as you soar high above the trees on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, one of Cairns most popular attractions. Gliding 7.5 metres above the rainforest canopy in comfortable six-person gondola cabins, the Skyrail journey immerses you and your friends in an exciting rainforest adventure.

Your Skyrail experience will begin or end at either the Caravonica or Kuranda terminals, depending on your direction of travel. As you approach your first rainforest mid-station, Red Peak, your gondola will descend through the canopy layers and take you deep in the rainforest. On approach to Barron Falls Station, you and your group will enjoy spectacular views of the Barron Gorge, a deep chasm lined with dense rainforest vegetation. From Barron Falls, your Skyrail experience continues through the mountains before gliding over the mighty Barron River and arriving at Skyrail's Kuranda Railway Terminal.

Skyrail is spectacular on a fine day and even more amazing when it rains. As you coast through the mist in your fully-enclosed gondola cabins, you will observe the rainforest come to life. To make the most of your group outing, Skyrail can be combined with the Kuranda Scenic Railway and number of other Cairns' great day tour products. Rydges offers a variety of Cairns accommodations convenient to both Kuranda and the Skyrail, so check out our selected properties and discover your view from the top!
