Overall, it is a nice trip up to Kuranda. We did the Skyrail up there, which was probably the best part of the trip, since it involved a few short stops with walks along the way. Kuranda is pretty but with so many amazing things to see and do near Cairns, it was perhaps our least favorite place. The train ride back was not very pleasant since we were seated in the middle of many people and had poor visability out the windows. It's a nice historical train route, but the experience was not that great. The transport to and from was fine but not as pleasant as on other tours.

Bus driver was really friendly and informative. the day started off Misty but looked magical going up the mountains on the sky rail. Stunning views. The stop at Kuranda was lovely and full of shops and places to eat. The train ride back to Cairns was spectacular with great photo opportunities. I was worried about needing to go to the toilet but the train had toilets on board.

Great day out. Old train and info very interesting, on board staff very helpful. Kuranda - lots to do, decide before hand , and lunch was great . Take an earlier skyrail back and walk the 5-10 min bord walks at the stops. Sky rail also a unique experience, sadly some of it was lost in the clouds-fine day spectacular views.
