Chris was stellar. - Chris was a spectacular driver, host, and introduction to our trip. We rode skyrail, stopped at barron falls, information center, then on to kuranda, lunch at Kuranda Hotel, and then historic train ride back down mountain, Kevin was very friendly pickup and nice ride back to doubletree hotel in Cairns.

Brilliant! Great company - Interesting train journey with fabulous scenery. Old carriages with character, no aircon as expected from the period. Skyride (cablecar) fabulous with Aircon! Our guide Chris was great, definitely the tour company to book with.

Very thoughtful and accommodating - We enjoyed the train ride and cable car coming back. Both stopped for getting pictures of great views. Our Viator driver picked us up, drove us around Cairns and Kuranda. He was available and explained both towns giving us a good overall picture. I would highly recommend our driver.

A great day seeing Kuranda - All of it was great. Man collected us from our hotel. He was punctual and friendly. His car/van was lovely with white leather seats. Very comfortable. We caught the train up to Kuranda. The scenery was beautiful. The carriages very comfortable. Man collected us at the other end a took us for a drive around Kuranda recommending a number of places. We caught the skyrail back from Kuranda to Smithfield. The scenery and view from the Skyrail was amazing. Man was waiting for us at the bottom and took as back to our hotel. It was extremely convenient.

Excellent - We had such an amazing time. Loved every second of the day. Loved the scenic train ride and the railway to the first stop was amazing then we felt the customer service was good. Only downfall was we were sitting with another couple and couldn’t buy our photo as we wanted our own photo taken. We were asked to sit with other couple .

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.

Skyride Cairns - Fabulous skyride takes abt 35/40 mins going up and there you can shop in the village etc but the train coming down takes abt 1 and a half hours and only goes twice a day 2pm and 3.30pm the price for skyride and train is $135pp but just skyride $99. This was the inspiration for the Avatar film in the rainforest scenes
