Skyrail Rainforest Cableway

Amusement and Theme Parks

Enjoy a unique perspective of Australia’s World Heritage-listed tropical rainforest, glide above the canopy before descending to explore. Learn about ancient plants and animals that existed before dinosaurs roamed the earth, whose descendants can still be seen in the rainforest today.

Complimentary Ranger guided boardwalk tours, the immersive Rainforest Discovery Zone, engaging interpretive signage and scenic lookouts at Red Peak help you unlock the secrets of this mystical landscape. Marvel at the iconic Barron Gorge and Falls from The Edge Lookout at Barron Falls / Dindin.

Discover the World’s Oldest Rainforest Story, an exciting collaboration between Buda:dji and the Djabugay people and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. Hear the dreamtime stories of the Djabuganydji bama, the Traditional Custodians of this land, in the multilingual Skyrail Audio Guide App. Ensure you get the most out of your experience with in-gondola commentary and more.

Just 15 minutes from Cairns, there is free parking for self-drivers including RV’s, and electric vehicle charging bays. Bus transfers available from selected Cairns City locations.
