Just outside Cairns, the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway invites you to experience the Wet Tropics from an entirely new perspective, above the canopy. This 7.5 km cableway carries you silently over one of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests, offering sweeping views of lush jungle, mountain ranges, and waterfalls.

The journey begins at Smithfield Terminal, where you’ll board your gondola and ascend above the treetops. Along the way, you’ll stop at two mid-stations: Red Peak, where elevated boardwalks wind through ancient rainforest, and Barron Falls, home to dramatic lookouts over the powerful cascade below.

This experience is more than just a scenic ride, it’s a chance to connect with nature. Learn about the rainforest’s unique ecology and Indigenous heritage through interpretive displays and optional guided walks.

Whether you’re visiting for the views, the silence, or the sense of wonder, Skyrail is a must-do in Tropical North Queensland.
