Amazing! Incredible day. Great bus driver who picked us up, full of helpful information. Skyrail trip amazing. The guide we had at the first stop was so knowledgeable and interesting. Had a great pie at Annabels pie shop in Kuranda. Great train trip to Freshwater. The markets at Kuranda were a bit disappointing.

The day was cool and wet and misty so missed the views. However still stunning and the guide was excellent on the skyway. Kuranda beautiful but not enough seats to sit on and take in the scenery. The train ride was the best of all. Amazing. Comfortable and very enjoyable.

What a great day out - no matter the age (we are 70's) cable cars viewing was really clear with good views of rainforest & return rail was interesting with commentry a real highlight - excellent value (only negative the time spent @ Kuranda was a bit long - could have been an hour shorter)
