Skyrail is a unique rainforest experience taking you on an unforgettable journey through Australia's World Heritage protected Tropical Rainforests.

Spanning 7.5km, Skyrail Rainforest Cableway traverses the McAlister Range, through the picturesque Barron Gorge National Park, taking guests on an amazing journey between its Caravonica and Kuranda Terminals.

Guests glide just metres above the rainforest canopy in Skyrail's comfortable six-person gondola cabins, which provide spectacular and uninterrupted views of the rainforest, tropical Cairns, the Coral Sea and the lush Cairns Highlands. Witness the wonders of the world's oldest continually surviving rainforests from Skyrail's unique vantage point, before alighting at Skyrail's two rainforest mid-stations to explore and learn more about this fascinating environment from the forest floor.

Skyrail is the World's Most Beautiful Rainforest Experience.
