Itinerary
Glide above the canopy of the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics Rainforest on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. The journey offers spectacular views over lush rainforest, deep gorges and cascading waterfalls, with stops at Red Peak and Barron Falls stations where visitors can explore elevated boardwalks and viewing platforms. Skyrail provides a unique perspective of one of the world’s oldest surviving rainforests. During the Skyrail upgrade period ( August to October 2026), guests will enjoy a scenic return journey between Skyrail Kuranda Terminal and Barron Falls via the Skyrail Loop, ensuring they can still experience the beauty of this remarkable rainforest environment.
Nestled within the World Heritage-listed rainforest, Kuranda Village is renowned for its relaxed atmosphere, colourful markets, boutique shops, cafés and galleries. Often referred to as the "Village in the Rainforest", it provides visitors with free time to explore local arts and crafts, sample regional produce and soak up the charm of this unique mountain town.
Discover the magic of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest butterfly flight aviary at the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary. Home to thousands of free-flying tropical butterflies, including the vibrant Cairns Birdwing species, the sanctuary offers visitors the opportunity to observe these remarkable creatures up close in a lush rainforest setting. Educational displays and breeding laboratories provide fascinating insights into the butterfly lifecycle.
Travel through the World Heritage-listed rainforest aboard an authentic Army Duck, immerse yourself in Indigenous culture at the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience, encounter iconic Australian wildlife including koalas and kangaroos at the Koala & Wildlife Park, and enjoy a delicious Aussie BBQ Lunch surrounded by tropical rainforest.

About Cairns & the Tropical North
Cairns is the gateway to Far North Queensland, with the Great Barrier Reef offshore, Daintree rainforest to the north and the Atherton Tablelands inland.
Cairns sits on Trinity Bay between the sea and a wall of forested ranges. The Esplanade has a public saltwater swimming lagoon and a long boardwalk beside mudflats where wading birds feed, and the Botanic Gardens hold tropical plants and a rainforest boardwalk. The city is the departure point for boats to the Great Barrier Reef, including the coral cay of Green Island and the rocky Fitzroy Island, and for flights over the reef.
