The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway experience spans 7.5kms over Australia's pristine tropical rainforests.

You'll glide just metres above the rainforest canopy before descending through the canopy layers and deep into the heart of the forest at Skyrail's two rainforest mid-stations for the ultimate tropical rainforest experience.

 

Voted Australia's Best Major Tourist Attraction, the multi-award winning Skyrail is recognised not only as a premier tourist experience, but as a world leader in eco-tourism, providing you with a truly unique rainforest experience available no where else in the world.

Skyrail can be enjoyed as complete day tour adventure or combined as a package with a number of Cairns' other leading tourist attractions. Skyrail's Kuranda Terminal is located a short walk from the famous village of Kuranda where you'll be able to enjoy the local attractions and shopping.

A one-way Skyrail Experience will take approximately 90 minutes to complete and for a return experience you should allow 2½ hours. Our trip map section contains more information.

Skyrail's Caravonica Terminal is located just 15 minutes drive from Cairns city. Port Douglas is situated north, only 50 minutes from Skyrail. Both of these locations are conveniently serviced by regular coach transfer pick-ups. Self-drive passengers will also find Skyrail's location easily accessible.

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is open every day except for Christmas Day and during planned, preventative maintenance - for more information please visit Skyrail's Special Notices.
