History of Kuranda Scenic Rail It was in 1882 that the miners of Herberton were on the brink of total starvation, unable to get supplies due to flooding. A route to civilisation was desperately needed for the purpose of meeting ships at the port, to deliver goods to the city and towns to the west, and more importantly to bring back the spoils of the hinterland particularly tin, timber, small amounts of gold and subsequently sugar, tobacco, copper and lead. Adventure bushman and colourful pioneer, Christie Palmerston, was charged with finding a starting point for a railway. The Premier Sir Samuel Griffiths turned the first sod for the line which was to be built in three stages.

Men tackled the jungle and mountains not with bulldozers, jackhammers and other modern equipment, but with strategy, fortitude, hand tools, dynamite, buckets and bare hands. Great escarpments were removed from the mountains above the line and every loose rock and overhanging tree had to be removed by hand. After removing 2.3 million metres of earthworks, creating 15 tunnels, 93 curves, dozens of bridges and 75 kilometres of track, a banquet high up on the bridge with General Sir Henry Wiley Norman, Governer of Queensland marked the completion of Stoney Creek Bridge.

On June 15th 1891, Mr Johnstone, one of three Railway Commissioners at that time opened the line for goods traffic only. Just ten days later, the Cairns- Kuranda Railway line was opened to passenger travel. The original Kuranda Scenic Railway is truly a legendary demonstration of man’s ingenuity and nature’s wonder. The 34km Kuranda Scenic Railway was, and still is considered a remarkable engineering feat of tremendous magnitude.

Red Peak is Skyrail’s highest station at 545 m (1,788 ft) above sea level.
The Kuranda Station sits at 336 m (1,102ft) and Caravonica Terminal is only 5 m (16 ft) above sea level.
The steepest section of the cableway has a slope of 19 degrees.
Skyrail Rainforest Cableway has 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) of 40.5 mm galvanised steel rope weighing more than the equivalent of 100 sedan cars. There is a multi-core communications cable which runs in the middle of the towers, between the two lines of haul rope. This carries all the voice and safety circuit communications.
The cableway is driven by a 383 kW (500 hp) D.C Electric Motor located at each drive station, the Kuranda and Caravonica Stations. Each drive station has a back-up diesel motor and a further auxiliary Hydrostatic Drive.

Skyrail Wheelchair Access Skyrail gondola cabins can accommodate most standard type wheelchairs. However, due to size restrictions and loading requirements, some types of wheelchairs can not be carried on the cableway. In this case Skyrail can provide complimentary use of a wheelchair (subject to availability) during a Skyrail experience. Please advise reservations staff at the time of booking to confirm your requirements. Please note that wheelchairs are restricted on the coach transfer service and it may be required to book a wheelchair acessible taxi.

Optional use of ramp for loading & unloading
Ramp access to all boardwalks
Access to the CSIRO Interpretation Centre
Access to restroom facilities at all stations.

Wheelchair guidelines

Width cannot exceed 630mm.
Length cannot exceed 950mm.
Wheelchairs must have handles
Wheelchairs must be capable of being tilted backwards
The combined weight of the wheelchair occupant and the wheelchair must be of a manageable weight to allow cableway operators to load the wheelchair.

Kuranda Train & Skyrail Faq

Where is Skyrail located? Skyrail Terminal is located a 15 minute drive north of Cairns city and 50 minutes south of Port Douglas.

How long does Skyrail take? We suggest you allow 1.5 hours to complete a one-way journey on Skyrail. This includes ample time to explore the two mid-stations.

How long does the Kuranda Train journey take? The train takes 1.5 hours between Freshwater Connection and Kuranda.

How many hours should I spend in Kuranda? Most visitors spend three hours in Kuranda. It is possible to opt for no time, up to five hours free time. We suggest three hours. This gives you enough time to have a good look around and have some lunch.

What is there to do in Kuranda? The main attraction in Kuranda is the Original Kuranda Markets. There are also Heritage Markets, Boutiques, Art Galleries and Cafes. As well as shopping there are wildlife attractions including Birdworld, The Butterfly Sanctuary and Koala Gardens. It is possible to pay for these on entry or pre-purchase a three park pass at a discounted rate. Kuranda also has a river boat cruise, and a pretty river walk. Rainforestation is near Kuranda and a visit is often combined in a Kuranda package. This activity park a 5-minute drive outside Kuranda and is most known for the Army Duck ride among other activities.

Why do most tours include Freshwater Connection railway station? Freshwater Connection is a 15-minute drive from Cairns City and is a pretty railway station in a semi-rural setting with a small museum and a coffee shop inside a train carriage. This is a much prettier station to start your day. Cairns Central Station is simply a city train station without character. The Kuranda Train sets off from Cairns Central Station, then stops at Freshwater Connection to pick-up passengers before heading up the mountain.

Is it better to take the train up to Kuranda and Skyrail down, or in reverse? We prefer to recommend the train up to Kuranda in the morning and the Skyrail down the mountain in the afternoon. Freshwater Connection is more lively in the morning with atmosphere, the train is cooler in the morning as it is heritage and not air-conditioned it can get very warm in the afternoon. Skyrail is pretty either way but it is very nice seeing the view of the Coral Sea open up as you come over the mountain. Answer: Train up, Skyrail down

Do the tours including Train and Skyrail include return hotel transfers from all hotels in the Cairns area? Yes. The only area where transfers are not offered are residential beach suburbs such as Holloways and Machans Beach. Transfers are included from Yorkey’s Knob on cruise ship days but not on any other days.

Will the bus pick us up from our Airbnb address? It depends on the address. If you’re staying in a holiday apartment it is likely a pick-up will be offered however if you’re staying in a residential area we will locate the closest hotel as your pick up location.

We have our own car. Do we still need a transfer? Yes, Skyrail Station and Freshwater Connection Railway Station are not in the same location. You will require a one-way transfer. Please book the self-drive option.

We suggest the above option in this listing, where you drive to Skyrail in the morning, park your car free for the day, meet the coach driver who takes you to Freshwater Connection, go up on the train, have free time, come down on the Skyrail and jump in your car and drive back to your hotel. This way, there is no waiting at the end of the day.

Can we do a self-drive tour including the Train and Skyrail from Port Douglas? Yes, sure. The self-drive tour is the same for guests staying in Cairns or Port Douglas.

Do you have pensioner/senior rates? Yes, however these rates are not available to book on this instant booking page. Please contact [email protected] with your enquiry including preferred date, number of people and if you need transfers and we will respond with a quote. You will need to provide your seniors card on the day of travel.

Is it easy to walk to the main village of Kuranda from the Skyrail and Kuranda Train stations? Yes, the station is at the bottom of the village. It is an easy walk to the top of the village however there is a courtesy (free) shuttle bus to carry visitors to the top of the village where the markets are located. This shuttle runs every 15 minutes until 2.50pm.

Is it possible to take a pram or wheelchair on this tour? Yes, prams are no problem. Please let us know when booking if you have a wheelchair as we will need to make arrangements for the correct carriage with the wheelchair lift for the train and advise Skyrail.

We are on a cruise ship and would like to know if it’s possible do the Train and Skyrail? Yes. We access current cruise ship timetables and book many cruise ship passengers on this tour. Please email [email protected] with your cruise ship arrival date, number of people travelling and name of ship. We will make sure the timings fit with your cruise ship schedule and send a correct quote. Cruise ships arrive into Cairns Port and Yorkey's Knob by tender.

If we are on a cruise ship and the ship or tender cannot make it into port due to weather will we receive a refund? Yes, we refund the total when the ship is unable to berth or transfer vessels are unable to provide transfers.

We want to ride in the Army Duck? Rainforestation is a 5-minute drive outside Kuranda. Army Ducks (amphibious vehicle) from World War II have been restored and guests are offered a ride through the rainforest and then into a small lake. Tours that include the Army Duck will also include the coach to get to Rainforestation. Visitors who prefer an all-inclusive daytrip to Kuranda can also learn about indigenous culture and watch a dance performance, see a number of native animals and have lunch at Rainforestation. Tour packages include the Army Duck and coach transfers right through to all-inclusive day tours.

Can we start the tour in Kuranda? No. The Kuranda Train departs Kuranda at 2pm and 3.30pm. The 2pm Train from Kuranda would arrive at Freshwater Connection at 3.30pm. Skyrail is a 10 minute drive from here. The last Skyrail departs at 3.45pm. The timing is too tight and this direction does not make sense.

When does Gold Class train run? The Gold Class carriage is on the 9.50am Freshwater Connection departure. And, the 3.30pm Kuranda departure. If you would like Gold Class please book well in advance as there are limited seats.

How often does Skyrail run the Diamond View gondola? Diamond view has very limited availability. The Diamond view gondola has a clear floor and is an optional upgrade. The carriage comes every 15 minutes and can seat up to 5 guests.

Are there toilets on the train? Yes, there are toilets on every carriage.

How many people can fit in the Skyrail gondola? 6 guests can sit in a Skyrail gondola. 5 guests can sit in a Diamond view Skyrail gondola.

Kuranda Rainforest Walks

Kuranda has a network of interlinked walks that wind their way through the village and into the surrounding rainforest environment. Walks are suited to all ages and fitness levels. Here you can discover more about rainforest Aboriginal culture, understand how Kuranda's market economy came about, access Barron Gorge National Park and 'get up close' to tropical rainforest.

The Village Walk Showcases the main street and finishes at the site of the original Kuranda markets. Explore Kuranda’s ‘market economy’ and view the adapted tropical architecture of this village in the rainforest.

Jumrum Creek Conservation Park Walk on boardwalks and graded paths through vine-entwined rainforest to a small creek. Climbing palms twist to the forest canopy, creating a green curtain of foliage.

The Jungle Walk Passes through a regenerating forest. Connects to the River walk

The River Walk Offers a pleasant riverside stroll down a tree shaded esplanade.

Rainforest Canopy Walk & Barron Falls Lookout Connects Barron Falls Road with Barron Falls Lookout via the Barron Falls Railway Station. Suspended high above the forest floor, the boardwalk weaves through the lush rainforest canopy before descending to the Falls Lookout. There are so many vantage points along the platform that a return walk can take longer to complete than the distance suggests.

Cruise Ship Passengers Yorkey's Knob

Booking the Self Drive Option Cruise ship passengers docking at Yorkey's Knob Half Moon Bay Marina can experience the Skyrail and Train by booking a self drive experience then ordering an uber or taxi to get to Skyrail Smithfield station.

The Skyrail Station is only 10 minutes drive from the Half Moon Bay Marina and should only cost around $20 each way by taxi or uber ride.

Kuranda Scenic Rail Up and Skyrail Down Included in the Self-drive option is a shuttle transfer from Skyrail Smithfield to Freshwater Station where the Kuranda Scenic Rail departs.

When you reach the end of your Skyrail journey you can order a taxi or uber back yto the Marina.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip on the river and Lex, our guide, was fantastic - funny as well as informative. Seeing a cassowary up close was definitely the highlight for me. If anything, it was over too soon. Tour | Kuranda Riverboat | 45 Minute Cruise

Top quality operation. Beautiful comfortable coaches. And the drivers are real Aussie characters. Professional booking operations office. Showcasing the best of the tropical Cairns region.

We did the Kuranda Scenic Rail, Rainforestation and Skyrail Tour last weekend. Great door to door service and your itinerary and tickets are getting pre-issued which means no queuing to get them and more time to explore. The experience itself was fantastic and we enjoyed every minute. Absolutely recommended! Thank you!

Vatican Gold Room...

Vatican Gold Room and Capella Nicolini

I did an internet search. I can't pin down any photos or explanations for these two rooms. Amazon.com has Vatican books galore - but none of the descriptions provide specific info. on the books content. I did find a very expensive tour option of "only" $436 per person (even children) to see these rooms. Does anyone have any internet links to photos and info. about these Vatican areas?

I don't know what the gold room is, unless you mean the treasury? If so, that's an easy tour to do. A guide book will provide the information.

The other chapel you mention Is the only major work remaining from Fra Angelico's time working in the Vatican… assuming my memory is correct. The difficulty is that it's a very small room, with only one door, and has beautifully restored frescoes that would be vulnerable to people bumping into them. Therefore, letting people into the room presents a significant logistical problem. A couple of times I've been there when the door was open so you could look in, but even that was a logistical challenge – it is just a narrow doorway, so people bunched up trying to look in. When I visited last year, the door was closed, and they wouldn't open it. I think it would be worth it to pay a significant amount to be able to enjoy that room in peace. Whether it would be worth it to you depends on what you think of Fra Angelico.

For my future reference, I would be really grateful to know what vendor could get me in there. If you can post that information or PM me, that would be wonderful.

As an addendum, I thought your problem might be spelling, and i just confirmed that. I was remembering Nicoline not Nicolini. Google Nicoline and you'll find info.

If your interest is simply doing a "complete" tour of the Vatican, I wouldn't spend a huge amount of money to visit this chapel. If you have a real love of Fra Angelico, as I do, then it would be worth it.

This discussion intrigued me, so I did a little digging. If you Google "Vatican Nicoline Chapel" and "Vatican Gold Room", you will find some good information with a few photos. There is a Viatour tour listed which includes these, at the price of about $436, although I really couldn't tell if that was per person, or a private small group tour, like for a couple or family. I understand that Viatour is really a middleman tour booking agency, and does not conduct its own tours. It appears that at least Walks of Italy offers this or a very similar tour, at a substantial price but less than $436. This might be what Viatour is offering. You would have to read through the details of some of the more expensive of their Vatican offerings. Remember that Walks of Italy offers an RS discount (10 percent I think) plus senior and child discounts, and allows stacking these discounts. Reviews of these tours make them sound very satisfying, including small groups, excellent guides, private access to normally closed ares, and "worth it" to those commenting. If you are really interested, I would call Walks of Italy (or other quality tour companies) to see what they have available when you will be in Rome. In my experience, the people in the Walks of Italy US office are very knowledgeable and helpful. Please let us know if you find out more.

Www.viator.com/Vatican is the site I found and the above poster mentioned. It's $435 per person for a 3 hour Vatican tour with a group of 15 people. It includes Vatican gold room, whatever that is, the Capella Nicoline, and after hours access to Sistine Chapel and parts of Vatican Museum to provide an exclusive tour (no crowds). So, you would be on a guided tour with up to 15 people after most tourists are gone. There are no discounts except for children under age 3.

Looking at that description, you're mostly paying for after-hours access to the Sistine Chapel and the museums, with some time in those extra two rooms. (FYI, the Nicoline chapel is equivalent in size to a large walk-in closet, so you're not going to be spending a lot of time in there; 15 people, plus a guide, would pretty much fill it.)

Only you can decide if the after-hours access is worth the cost.

Actually, the price is not that far out of line if there are only a few of you on the tour. The Vatican charges 500 euros to open up these rooms so if there are just a few of you on the tour the fee is reasonable. If the tour company is splitting the 500 euros between 10 people or more than they are overcharging you.

Found it: go to italysbestrome.com, then to Italy Tours, then to Vatican, then to Private Tour of special rooms, or something close to that. It describes a very enticing after-hours tour. However, it does not list prices or terms and you have to send an e-mail to request more information. The company is evidentally "Italy's Best" Tours.

So the mystery "gold room" is the room where the gold Etruscan jewelry is displayed. That warding strikes me as a little creative writing.

I Wore This Breezy Button-down All Over Europe, and It Never Wrinkled — so I’m Stocking Up on 12 Similar Styles

My favorite finds from Amazon, Madewell, and more start at just $8.

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation. Learn more .

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

A few summers ago, I discovered the perfect white button-down shirt while prepping for a three-week trip to Europe. Though the Big Dart Women’s Loose Fit Button-down Shirt was admittedly an Amazon impulse purchase, this $26 shirt easily ended up being the most versatile item in my suitcase while I traveled to Portugal and France with my family.

This oversized button-down emerged as my vacation wardrobe workhorse thanks to its lightweight material, crisp feel, and surprisingly durable fabric. I was traveling with my two young sons, which meant everything I wore was susceptible to spills, and I was shocked by how well this button-down washed and how stain-resistant and durable the fabric was, as well as how wrinkle-resistant it was. It’s a cotton polyester blend, so not 100 percent cotton, but I still found it to be very breathable and soft.

Big Dart Women’s Loose Fit Button-down Shirt

Better yet, the Big Dart button-down went with pretty much everything I had packed for that trip: I could wear it over a bathing suit, tucked into pants, tied up with denim shorts, or left unbuttoned with a tank top underneath. It worked equally well on hot days to provide sun coverage and as a lightweight topper on cooler nights. All in all, it made me feel put-together and stylish — and because I could wear it with absolutely everything, I felt I’d achieved the elusive and satisfying feeling of “packing well.”

Below, 12 more oversized button-downs that are perfect for travel, ranging from short-sleeve styles to shirts available in bright colors and fun patterns — starting at just $8 .

Hotouch Women’s Cotton Button-down Shirt

Like my beloved Big Dart button-down, this shirt is available on Amazon, super affordable, and hugely versatile. But it has a slightly beachier, slouchier silhouette that some people may prefer, especially for warm-weather trips. Made of 100 percent cotton with a linen-like texture and a chest pocket, reviewers say the fabric feels surprisingly high quality. The fit is “oversized just enough to be loose, but looks great buttoned or open with a tank top,” says one , and the material is lightweight but not see-through.

Dokotoo Women’s Color Block Button-down Shirt

Another under-$40 Amazon find, this billowing button-down from Dokotoo is made from 100 percent cotton but slightly rough and textured, similar to linen. The shirt boasts more than 1,000 five-star reviews: The fabric is “ great quality ,” reviewers say; they also love the “beautiful color” (in addition to solid basics, there are fun color block prints), “gauzy” feel, and comfortable fit.

Gap Organic Cotton Perfect Shirt

Discounted from its original price of $70, Gap’s Organic Cotton Perfect Shirt is a steal. This button-down has a straight silhouette that sits around the hip, the perfect length to tuck in or wear loose; just size up for that effortless oversized look. The 100 percent organic cotton fabric is “stylish and crisp” and “really versatile,” reviewers say.

Madewell Signature Poplin Oversized Shirt

For excellent basics, you can always rely on Madewell. This oversized button-down, marked down more than 50 percent, comes in a few different colors in addition to white (for something a little different, I love the blue and white stripe) and is available in sizes from S to XXL. Reviewers rave about the lightweight material, with one saying it’s their new favorite shirt and it “makes me feel like Diane Keaton ready to walk the beaches of Rhode Island.”

Old Navy Linen-Blend Button-Down Boyfriend Shirt

With its super soft linen rayon blend and 1,000-plus five-star reviews, this best-selling button-down from Old Navy may just be the perfect white linen beach top. It’s “super comfortable,” “lightweight and summery,” and “has just the right oversized fit.” Some reviewers do find that it runs a little longer than your average button-down, though others say this helps make it ideal as a swim cover-up.

Cunlin Wrinkle-free Women’s Button Down

Another great Amazon find, this striped button-down is available in a range of perfect-for-summer colors like pink , purple , and light blue . It’s made of a wrinkle-free material and has a standard to oversized fit that’s still slightly more structured than other options. Reviewers say for that “boyfriend” style, size up one, and otherwise, “It looks more expensive than it really was and can be dressed up or down. Travels really well and doesn't seem to wrinkle easy, as promised.”

Amazon Essentials Classic Long Sleeve Button-down Shirt

You couldn’t go wrong with this lightweight cotton poplin shirt if you tried. With a classic look that can easily take you from day to night, walking tour to dinner and back, this is your shirt — and it’s only $26. Reviewers say that while this shirt does tend to get creases throughout the day, it’s “high-quality” and better than name brands they’ve tried.

Uniqlo Premium Linen Long Sleeve Shirt

Made of 100 percent linen flax grown in Europe, this slightly sheer button-down from Uniqlo is “great quality,” has a “perfect fit,” and is “long enough to wear over tights, tucked in, tied in the front, anyway you want it,” according to reviewers. It’s also available in virtually every possible color, from classic white to a peachy orange to various shades of blue. Note that the fit isn’t oversized, so size up if you’d prefer a roomier silhouette.

Uniqlo Linen Blend Band Collar Striped 3/4-Sleeve Shirt

Though similar to the button-down above, this Uniqlo shirt has a band collar and three-quarter length sleeves that give it a soft, beachy look. It’s semi-sheer, reviewers note, so you may want to wear a shirt underneath if you choose one of the lighter colors. The fabric is soft and lightweight, and also makes a perfect beach cover-up.

Quince Organic Cotton Poplin Long Sleeve Boyfriend Shirt

There’s a case to be made that Quince is one of the best places to shop for affordable travel basics, and the retailer’s 100 percent Organic Cotton Poplin Long Sleeve Boyfriend Shirt is evidence number one. Made from organic poplin, it’s crisp and classic with a fit that’s loose but not ultra oversized. Reviewers love the “great quality” materials and “super versatile” silhouette that can be dressed up or down. And while “it does need an iron,” reviewers say, the shirt can be washed without shrinking.

Ichuanyi Womens Cotton Button-down Shirt

No, you’re not reading the price wrong — this short-sleeve button-down top from Walmart’s Ichuanyi line is indeed just $8. A nice alternative to longer sleeves, reviewers say this shirt has a lightweight material, washes well, and is easy to dress up or down. (Just keep in mind that it does wrinkle, so you may choose to iron it.) Best yet, there are a whopping 29 stylish color options and an inclusive size range from S to 5XL.

J.Ver Wrinkle-free Button-down Shirt

One of the most prized qualities of the Big Dart shirt is that it didn’t wrinkle; in fact, I did not iron it once. That’s what reviewers also loved about this Amazon button-down which they say is “ very comfortable and looks really nice on, no wrinkles .” It’s not oversized per se, but you can always size up for a roomier look, but with its streamlined look this one can also be worn to dressier dinners or even business meetings on the go — no need for a portable steamer.

San Francisco & Yosemite Express 3D/2N (From Los Angeles)

The tour was good, my personal preference would have been to spend more time in San Francisco, doing the iconic things like a trolley car ride and an Alcatraz tour, rather than the random stops along the way. Our tour guide was great - however, right at the end of the tour - when I reached my destination - it was not the hotel that I was informed it was going to be, and both the tour guide and the driver couldn't get out of there quick enough, so I felt stranded...luckily I had been following where we were headed on my phone's GPS, otherwise I would have been totally unprepared. That was quite disappointing...I was going to tip them both - but they literally disappeared so quickly I barely got a chance to even say goodbye. I was also disappointed, as the literature all said Yosemite park, but we didn't get there because it was winter...fair enough - but I wasn't the only one who didn't understand we weren't going there..and we felt a little deceived...my tour itinerary still said Yosemite park on it, so that is where I thought we were going....

What people love about coach / bus tours in california.

It was great. Tough schedule but I liked it.

The San Francisco/Yosemite tour was awesome. It exceeded my expectations. Our guide Dorit was really good and the itinerary was balanced covering all major spots with decent breaks in between. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for a broad west coast trip within a short span of time.
