Arrive at the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, a six-person gondola that glides over the rainforest canopy, travels through Barron Gorge, and passes Stoney Creek Falls and the spectacular 800-foot Barron Falls. Next, you'll have free time in Kuranda Village to browse the shops and enjoy lunch on your own. Your adventure continues aboard the Kuranda Scenic Railway to Freshwater Station. You'll enjoy a spectacular journey through the Kuranda Mountains, with magnificent views of the rainforest, steep ravines and picturesque waterfalls, crossing 37 bridges and traveling through 15 tunnels.
