Skyrail Rainforest Cableway

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, Cairns Australia, is a world first in environmental tourism taking you on an amazing experience over Australia’s World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest canopy and deep into the forest.

The Skyrail experience, spanning 7.5kms over pristine
rainforest, allows you to explore the wonders of an ancient tropical rainforest and learn about one of the most botanically fascinating and diverse areas on earth.

Gliding just metres above the rainforest canopy in comfortable six-person gondola cabins, the Skyrail journey immerses you in an intimate rainforest experience where you’ll see, hear, smell and become part of the tropical rainforest environment.

A Skyrail Experience will take approximately 1½ hours one way, or 2-2½ hours return.

Your Skyrail experience will commence or conclude at either the Caravonica or Kuranda, depending on your direction of travel.

Location

Skyrail’s Caravonica Terminal is located just 15 minutes from Cairns and 50 minutes from Port Douglas and provides a convenient embarkation or disembarkation point.

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway operates daily from 9.00am to 5.15pm and is open every day except Christmas Day and during planned, preventative maintenance (for more information, please visit www.skyrail.com.au/notices.html ).
