Kuranda Scenic Railway
Down Under Tours – Self drive Kuranda with Skyrail & Kuranda Scenic Rail
Upon arriving at the Skyrail Terminal in Caravonica, we parked our car and waited for the Down Under Tours coach to pick us up and take us to the Freshwater Railway Station. The coach arrived on time and we were greeted by the driver. The driver gave a brief description of the day and explained a few procedures. Worthwhile mentioning, the Down Under Tours coach, was immaculate, modern and very comfortable. Very impressive if you have been on some other busses/coaches around town.
After a smooth ride on the coach and arrival at Freshwater Station, we checked-in at the Down Under Tours counter and settled the payment. We were given a map of Kuranda and some stickers for the self drive tour, some discount offers for some of the attractions in Kuranda, and the gold class token for the train. We had a few minutes to look around and then boarded the train at 09:45am.
The Gold Class experience was something to remember. The carriage we were in only had a total of 9 people and plenty of room/space to move around and take photos. The service from Cassandra was great and there were plenty of drinks and snacks to go around. We received a souvenir on the train which consisted of a postcard, pen and a Kuranda train badge.
On arrival at Kuranda Village, we headed off and as things go, we made it just back in time for our 15:30pm Skyrail return. We thought we would have plenty of time, however we enjoyed Kuranda Village so much that we were short of time in the end.
The trip on the Skyrail back to our car was very pleasant and we had such beautiful weather, the views were spectacular.
All in all, it was a great day and I was very happy with the service given by Down Under Tours. Everything went smoothly and it was great to return straight to your car.
