Trinity Beach Top 3 – Tours
KURANDA SCENIC RAILWAY + SKYRAIL COMBO
Visit the bohemian tourist village of Kuranda in style. Hop on board the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway and take in the stunning sights, smells and sounds of the heritage listed wet tropics. Historical commentary is played throughout your winding journey to the top and you’ll find yourself amazed at the engineering feats accomplished all the way back in the 1800s! Stop at Barron Gorge to admire the powerful Barron River as it cascades down in waterfalls before jumping back on to reach Kuranda village where you’ll find artist galleries, food markets and tourist activities such as the Butterfly sanctuary. Once you’ve enjoyed the town it’s time to head back down the Dividing Range…this time in a Skyrail gondola hanging above the tree canopies. The view is breath-taking and it’s not hard to see how the rainforest and landscape inspired Director James Cameron’s vision for Avatar. Hop off to take a stroll along a rainforest boardwalk before enjoying the rest of your trip down.
Multiple add-ons are available for both the railway and Skyrail (e.g. Gold Class rail carriages or Diamond glass floor gondolas).
The railway takes approximately 90 mins each way and the Skyrail takes approximately 40-60 minutes. Both can be taken one-way up or down or you can choose to stick to just one mode of transport. Self-drive is also an option.
For those with private vehicles, a transfer option exists to allow you to return to your vehicle should you choose the railway/Skyrail combo option. We recommend parking at the Skyrail terminal (only 10 minutes from Trinity Beach), and then using the transfer to take you to Freshwater Station where you take the scenic railway up the mountain. On your way down, enjoy the Skyrail and jump off with your car parked and ready to go!
Both tours, transfers and add-ons can be booked and organised at reception. Talk to us today!
