If you’re on a campervan hire Australia road trip taking a vacation in or around Cairns in Australia, you must milk the chance to take a ride on the Kuranda Skyrail. It is an experience which has the WOW factor as you will be able to see from way up above the Kuranda range rainforest down to the cane fields on the flat below as well as out across the sea to the end of the horizon.
You can set off from the Smithfield terminal and have some light refreshment or read the well provided shops before boarding your glassed in bubble which should take you up into the clouds. The Skyrail ascends over the treetops, giving you a view you aren’t certain to see anyplace else in the world.
Around half way up, the Skyrail stops for a break and you’re able to land and stretch your legs. Included in the trip is a nature walk thru the rainforest with a guide to clarify what you are looking at. It is actually interesting and tons of information is available about the local animal and plant life.
Back aboard the Skyrail, you head back above the treetops again to finish the trip to Kuranda. It actually is a fabulous vista below and the rainforest looks very different from above, as compared to walking thru it below. Even the clouds are attractive when you are sitting right in the middle of them.
When you arrive in Kuranda, you can meander about and explore the village and markets before the return trip. An alternative return trip and similarly as striking, is to go by train back down the range. This can bring you into close proximity to the Barron Brook Falls which are impressive to say the least. Whichever route you select, it’s a top class vista which may stay in your mind’s eye for a very long time.
