    Excursion intérêt faible

    Une excursion relativement onéreuse. Il faut rentabiliser la réalisation. Décevante concernant le parcours en train. Bien concernant le téléphérique. Visite pas indispensable. Bonne organisation cependant, horaires, prises en charge.

    Kuranda Train & Skyrail

    Wonderful trip up and back! The train was fantastic - such a beautiful old train. The skyrail was amazing! Fantastic scenery on both. Would thoroughly recommend them.

    Self-organise the trip to Kuranda

    Honestly, any "deal" on the train/skyrail trip to Kuranda by an external company is a rip off. Just go to the train station and buy your ticket individually or book it via the train's/skyrail's website. For a train ride up to Kuranda and skyrail down you pay $ 103, instead of $ 120 - $ 140 with an external company.
