Transfer to Freshwater Station to board the Kuranda Scenic Railway for a picturesque ride through Barron Gorge. Built between 1882 and 1891, the 21-mile railway is considered to be an engineering feat of tremendous magnitude. Your train ride offers sights of deep gorges and rugged mountains, taking you past magnificent waterfalls, through 15 tunnels and across 37 bridges on your journey up the Kuranda Ranges — part of Barron Gorge National Park.
In Kuranda village, enjoy a limited amount of free time to browse through the many arts and crafts studios, visit the Australian Butterfly Farm (at your own expense), or sit back in a café and watch the colorful and vibrant village life go by.
Experience the breathtaking descent from Kuranda to Cairns aboard the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, traveling high above the rainforest canopy aboard a six-passenger gondola. Below you are spectacular views of the region and vistas of the sparkling North Queensland coast out to the Coral Sea and Green Island.
The journey down the mountain includes a stop at the Rainforest Interpretive Centre and Red Peak Station, where you'll have the opportunity to gain an insight into the intricate ecosystems that make up the rainforest.
A motorcoach will transfer you from Caravonica Station back to the ship.
Notes:
Tour sequence may vary. A short walk is required from the train station/Skyrail to the village on an incline. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for guests with mobility limitations. Guests with a fear of heights or with vertigo or claustrophobia should realistically assess their ability to participate. The Scenic Railway is not air-conditioned. The Kuranda Markets are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Tour does not operate on holidays.
