Scenic Train Ride to Kuranda

When visiting Cairns, on the Far North Queensland Australia coast, a train ride up to the town of Kuranda is well worth the trip!

The scenic railroad climbs up through rainforest, passing by gorges and waterfalls.

it is surely worth the upgrade to Gold Class on the Kuranda Scenic Railroad to ride in a classic wagon, with comfortable bucket seats and refreshments on board.

Upon arrival at the Kuranda train station, a short walk leads to the town of Kuranda where one can visit local artisans selling their goods at a market.

On the return trip back to Cairns, Skyrail cableway travels back down right over the rainforest canopy offering breathtaking views from a different angle.
