Kuranda Scenic Railway | Cairns International Hotel

A must see & do when in Cairns: the Kuranda Village & Historic Scenic Railway...

The Kuranda Scenic Railway climbs past waterfalls and ravines in its 90 minute journey up to Kuranda. This engineering feat gives cause for admiration, as the train makes it's way through the mountainous rainforest terrain surrounding Cairns, and passes the Barron Falls. The line winds the 24 miles up a spectacular gorge and mountainside offering fantastic views of the coast and the Barron Falls national park.

It took 5 years to build the line and it boasts 15 tunnels as it climbs 300 meters. On the train, there are two big highlights. One is where the train passes on a viaduct under the spray of a waterfall, and a few miles on the train stops at the Barron Falls to allow everyone to take photographs. Definitely one of the "must-see" attractions in the Cairns region. Discover more...
