RAINFOREST

There are so many ways to explore the world heritage rainforest that surrounds Cairns.

Experience the historic and Scenic Rail journey one way to Kuranda and travel the opposite way via a Skyrail Gondola traveling over World Heritage Rainforest, both are highlights of the area and a must do for all visitors. Kuranda is a small mountain village, which has a great market on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday

Travel to the Atherton Tablelands where the high elevation rainforests are vastly different to coastal rainforest and support a wide variety of wildlife, many species being unique to the Tablelands. You will also visit volcanic crater lakes and waterfalls.

Head north via Port Douglas and Mossman Gorge to Cape Tribulation where the rainforest meets the beach. Explore both the rainforest floor and make an easy ascent into the rainforest canopy to view the oldest rainforest in the world.
