Guest Reviews
Travstar made the booking and transfers a breeze.
I can understand why this is one of the most popular attractions in Cairns. The train trip up was excellent with stunning views and excellent commentary and Skyrail down also offered stunning views and great scenic walks. Travstar made the booking and transfers a breeze.

Our driver was absolutely wonderful
Our driver was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, prompt, gave us tons of good info. A big thank you to our driver and I really wished I had remembered to get Australian dollars prior to the tour so I could have tipped him!

Great view
The train ride up was a little hot and squishy, but definitely a great view as long as you get the window seat. The skyrail back was also stunning, but we would have loved the option the upgrade to the glass bottom cable car.

What a great way to see our beautiful country
Great day, the experience says it all. What a great way to see our beautiful country. Initially I thought the train ride would be too long but there was always something to see. Very happy with our experience. And the local pub food was absolutely delicious and super quick service.

I was thankful I booked the train in advance
I was thankful I booked the Train in advance, was great to skip the long queue at the station.
Allocated time at Kuranda was just not long enough, so we had to forfeit our transfer and pay extra for an uber as a later pick-up was not offered.
