For well over 100 years, the Kuranda Scenic Railway has wound its way through the World Heritage-listed rainforest of Barron Gorge National Park to the picturesque mountainside village of Kuranda. Your journey starts at Cairns Railway Station and follows the 33-kilometre route over endless bridges and ravines, through lush green valleys and past gushing waterfalls, with audio commentary along the way and a stop at the Barron Falls viewing platform. Choose a one-way trip to Kuranda or a return journey, and pick the class of travel that suits you. Heritage Class seats you in heritage carriages, with water coolers at the end of each carriage and a souvenir trip guide. Gold Class runs on the 9:30 am departure and 3:30 pm return, with individual lounge-style chairs, a dedicated host, a welcome drink, locally sourced appetisers, beverages and a gift pack. On a return ticket you travel back to Cairns on an afternoon train, and the operator confirms your exact return time after booking. Family tickets cover two adults and two children, so the whole family can share this classic rainforest train ride.
