Description

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is a unique rainforest experience taking you on an unforgettable journey over Australia's World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest and deep into the forest.

Spanning seven and half kilometres, Skyrail has comfortable six person gondola cabins which glide just metres above the canopy providing uninterrupted views of the rainforest, Cairns' tropical region, Coral Sea and lush Cairns Highlands. Your adventure includes time at two mid-stations where you can learn more about this fascinating environment from the forest floor.

At Red Peak Station qualified Rangers provide guided boardwalk tours sharing their knowledge on these ancient tropical forests, easy access walkways at Barron Falls Station take you to three separate lookouts providing breathtaking views of Barron Gorge and Barron Falls. Visit the hi-tech Rainforest Interpretation Centre at Barron Falls Station, housing touch screen computers and interactive audio-visual presentations; the Centre provides an informative and fun learning experience enhancing your appreciation of the rainforest.
