AWARD WINNING SKYRAIL

Skyrail is the World’s Most Beautiful Rainforest Experience…
  

The Skyrail experience, spanning 7.5kms over pristine rainforest, allows you to explore the wonders of an ancient tropical rainforest and learn about one of the most botanically fascinating and diverse areas on earth.

 

Gliding just metres above the rainforest canopy in comfortable 6 person gondola cabins, the Skyrail journey immerses you in an intimate rainforest experience where you’ll see, hear, smell and become part of the tropical rainforest environment.

Your Skyrail experience will commence or conclude at either the Caravonica or Kuranda, depending on your direction of travel.

Caravonica Terminal: Skyrail’s Caravonica Terminal is located just 15 minutes from Cairns and 50 minutes from Port Douglas and provides a convenient embarkation or disembarkation point and are conveniently serviced by regular coach transfer pick-ups. Self-drive passengers will also find Skyrail's location easily accessible.

Red Peak Station: Your gondola will descend through the canopy layers and take you deep in the forest. Complimentary guided boardwalk tours are available throughout the day.

Barron Falls Station: On approach to Barron Falls Station you will enjoy spectacular views of the Barron Gorge, a deep chasm lined with dense rainforest vegetation and a state-of-the-art Rainforest Interpretation Centre.

Kuranda: From Barron Falls, your Skyrail experience continues through the mountains before gliding over the mighty Barron River and arriving at Skyrail’s Kuranda Terminal. Skyrail’s Kuranda Terminal is located a short walk from the famous village of Kuranda where you’ll be able to enjoy the local attractions and shopping. 
   

Hours of Operation: Skyrail operates daily from 8:45am to 5.15pm with the last departure scheduled for 3.45pm and is open every day of the year except is closed Christmas Day.

A one-way Skyrail Experience will take approximately 90 minutes to complete and for a return experience you should allow 2½ hours.
You can spend as much time at you like at Skyrail’s rainforest mid-stations enjoying the facilities and rainforest atmosphere.
Plan to spend approximately 20-30 minutes.

Skyrail's Canopy Cafe and retail shop located at the Caravonica Terminal is open from 8.00am.
There is a selection of tropical yogurts, fruit smoothies, savoury breakfast jaffles, croissants, sandwiches, open grill foccacias, gourmet meat patties, quiche, salad, pies, pastries, sausage rolls, spinach and feta rolls, cakes and slices, premium teas and coffees, milkshakes and fruit slushies.

Child Rate: Children are aged 4-14 years inclusive.
