Get ready for the scenic trip of a lifetime in Kuranda. Hop onto a Skyrail cable car and look out over Kuranda's magnificent rainforest, stretching across 7.5 kilometers.

Pay a visit to the quaint Kuranda Village and explore the many charming gift shops and stores that sell eye-catching wares such as t-shirts, key chains, mugs, and more.
Once finished exploring the village, it is time to set foot on the Scenic Railway and cruise along the verdant rainforest that features over 1,200 kinds of flora, including orchids, figs, and palm trees.
