A delightful day out. The Skyrail and Skytrain are both pretty amazing engineering constructions and both provide an excellent ride through the mountains. We were treated extremely well by Chris, our guide and appreciated the door-to-door pickup/drop off. It is a long day and we probably could have skipped the cocktail at the end. Kuranda is an interesting town but most cafes and shops close at 3pm. We thought that perhaps the tour could have started an hour earlier so that we could have explored more of Kuranda. Highly recommend this tour.

Small group of 8 with our guide Dale who is a history buff and kept us amused all day with local facts / stories from the 19/20th Century Cairns, Port Douglas, Mossman, Palm Cove. Dale made sure we were always at the right place at the correct time so we didn’t miss out on any of the attractions in Karunda. We did the 1/2 day tour and for us we had more than enough time. The humidity increases up the mountain and it felt like 40degrees it was a godsend to be able to get in Dale’s air conditioned minibus. Dale has great Oz personality.
