The gondola ride via SkyRail over the 5.7 mile distance took us high over the rainforest canopy where we had a good look at the treetops and traveled through no fewer than 3 microclimates. The view out to Cairns, the islands and reef was breathtaking with visibility in excess of 16 km.
There were 2 stops along the way where we could get out and explore the boardwalks and interpretive centers. A family of 4 can ride the tram one way for A$75 and return by bus for $16.
In Kuranda Village we found the Butterfly House and a Bird World. Entry for 1 Adult and 2 kids for both attractions was $32.
