There are spectacular views of Cairns and the Coral Sea from your carriage and a souvenir booklet is included.

Kuranda is a small village in the Rainforest with one main street. From the train station it is a very easy walk to the markets and other attractions.

Kuranda Village became famous in the 1970's when many artists moved to the area to create art and crafts. A local market was born which is still famous today. There are also local art and craft shops and cafes.

The Attractions are many and varied including Birdworld, The Butterfly Sanctuary and the Rainforest Noctarium. There are plenty of public facilities and also a park.

At the scheduled time you will board Skyrail, the world's most beautiful rainforest experience. Skyrail has four seat cablecars which travel up & down the mountain to Kuranda. The scenery is magnificent looking out over the Coral Sea and cane fields while skimming across the top of the Rainforest Canopy.

There are two stops enroute where your family can learn about the rainforest in the National Park's interactive information area and also take a walk along raised boardwalks through the rainforest. It is fun and educational. Once back in Smithfield, you will be transferred back to Paradise on the Beach.
