One-way adult ticket ~AUD $55, children (4-14) ~AUD $28; combo with Skyrail ~AUD $130 adult / $65 child is the classic way to do both in one day. The 34km heritage rail journey winds through rainforest and past waterfalls over 1 hour 45 minutes – keep kids on the right side for the best views. Departures from Cairns Central at 8:30am and 9:30am daily; pre-book during school holidays. The historic Kuranda station village is a lovely stop for a snack before the return journey.
