What you can expect

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is one of Tropical North Queensland's must-do experiences!

You will embark on a fascinating journey of discovery, where you will glide meters above the pristine jungle canopy before descending to see the World Heritage Listed Wet Tropics Rainforest close-up at the two mid-stations; Red Peak & Barron Falls. As the gateway to the iconic "village in the rainforest", Kuranda, Skyrail Rainforest Cableway spans 7.5km and features unsurpassed panoramic views of the ancient rainforest of the Barron Gorge National Park and cascading Barron Falls/Din Din waterfall, as well as views all the way out to the waters of the Great Barries Reef and beyond. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, smells and tranquillity of one of the world’s most botanically fascinating areas, that has remained relatively unchanged for 130 million years!

The experience will take you 90 minutes including time spent at both Red Peak and Barron Falls, join a complimentary Ranger Guided Tour and be sure to enjoy the in-gondola commentary from the Skyrail Interpretive App and Audio Guide.

Make sure you book YOUR rainforest adventure online today so that you can experience the wonder of this must do experience for yourself!
