Skyrail takes you on an unforgettable journey over Australiaâ??s World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest and deep into the forest.
Spanning 7.5kms, Skyrail Rainforest Cableway has intimate six person gondola cabins which glide just metres above the forest canopy providing spectacular and uninterrupted views of the rainforest, tropical Cairns, the Coral Sea and the Cairns Highlands. Your Skyrail adventure includes time at two mid-stations, where you can learn more about this fascinating environment from the forest floor.
At Red Peak Station Skyrailâ??s Rangers provide regular guided boardwalk tours sharing their knowledge on these ancient tropical forests. While easy access walkways at Barron Falls Station take you to three separate lookouts providing breathtaking views of Barron Gorge and Barron Falls; here you can also visit the Rainforest Interpretation Centre. The centre, which Skyrail developed in conjunction with CSIRO, houses touch screen computers and interactive audio-visual presentations providing an informative and fun learning experience enhancing your appreciation of the rainforest.
