A wonderful must-do - The Skyrail is absolutely breathtaking, with magnificent views from the walks at the two stations along the way. The train journey back down was wonderful. The train took it nice and slow, stopping at Barron Falls and slowly past the many scenic spots. The narration along the way was very interesting too. Our guides were warm, friendly and knowledgeable, obviously taking pride in their roles. We felt a bit like royalty! Very highly recommended.

Awesome trip. - Man is the name of our wonderful guide who assisted us on our excursion on the Skyrail to Kuranda with the Kuranda Railway returning us to Cairns. We would highly recommend this trip. Man collected us from our Cairns accommodation and drove us to The Skyrail. The Skyrail takes you above the canopy of the Rainforrest with a magnificent overview of Cairns. Over the Barron Falls on the way to Kuranda. Man was waiting for us at the end of our Skyrail destination and gave us a tour of Kuranda with history and suggestions for lunch. After wandering around the markets, we made our way to Frogs, Man's suggested restaurant. It was delicious. We also visited the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, which is also worth a visit. Then, onto Kuranda Railway for our trip below the canopy of trees. Amazing history, and if you love train travel, this is a must. Man met us back in Cairns at the train station and drove us back to our accommodation. We highly recommend you taking this excursion, and we hope your guide is Man. He is so knowledgeable and so helpful. Thank you, Man, for everything today.

Great day experience - Lynda was excellent and attractive. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and slept well that night. The sky rail was interesting and the boat trip was unexpectedly enjoyable. My wife really enjoyed walking around the shops. We met other travelers on the train home.

Breath taking Rainforest sights - The army duck tour was exceptionally well guided and informative. Breath taking views. The skyrail was very unique and Barron falls stunning. The aerial view complemented the land tour. Together we could appreciate Nature at its best.
