Just outside of Cairns you will come across a lot of advertisements for the “Sky Rail.”We were not exactly sure what to expect. In actuality, it is exactly what it sounds like.The Sky Rail is a 7.5 kilometer cable car adventure giving you a bird’s eye view of the tropical World Heritage Rainforest.
As you see the the above video, you will travel the canopy of the beautiful Daintree Rainforest via cable car. At the end of the link you will come across Kuranda, a very small town in the mountains. You will be greeted by markets, restaurants, shops, and wildlife experiences for the old and young alike to enjoy.
While on your way to Kanadra, you can stop off at Barron Falls for a pit stop. You will be amazed as the rushing water crashed down 260 meters or 853 feet on the rocks below.You can also experience the Kuranda Scenic Railway which we hear is very nice for the children… We did not get to experience the railway because of the weather. Often times it is closed during the rainy season.
