I was picked up from location at right time. Driver was a lot of fun with secret talents! Maybe the stay in Kuranda was too long? The train ride and gondola other a must do.

Great service and experience

A very well organised day. The sky rail had wonderful views and interesting stops along the way. The village had lovely shops and market stalls. We loved the train journey back down. It was so interesting to hear how the railway was made and we had fantastic photo opportunities.

Great Kuranda day

Wonderful experience. This was the highlight of our trip.

I will definitely be booking again with this company.

An experience my husband and I will remember for a while. The views from Skyrail were incredible, Kuranda village was lovely and filled with many interesting gifts shops. The Scenic Rail Gold Class trip back down was incredible; drinks, nibblies and ice cream were included along with exceptional service. A birthday I am sure my husband will remember.

Excellent experience
