Program details

Ideal for visitors who wish to make the most of their stay in Cairns, this is a jam-packed tour with everything from train rides and a helicopter flight out to the reef to snorkelling and live music.

Enjoy a historical train journey along the winding Barron Gorge. Travelling through prolific rainforest and cascading waterfalls, the scenic railway winds through 15 tunnels and over 36 bridges as it travels along the 90-minute train track between Cairns and Kuranda. Watch the spectacular scenic views from the open-air railway train windows as it comes to a halt at Stoney Creek falls for some amazing scenic photo opportunities. At Kuranda you hop aboard the Skyrail to glide over pristine World Heritage listed rainforest in a six-person gondola. Suspended high above the lush tropical canopy you can appreciate amazing views of Cairns and the stunning Coral Sea.

Transfer then to the Heliport for a breathtaking scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef to an exclusive helipad at the outer reef. Here you board the MV Osprey for a delicious lunch while you enjoy the pristine location surrounded by rich coral reefs. After dining you can experience a range of underwater activities including snorkelling, swimming and a glass bottom boat coral viewing tour. After such an action-packed day it is time to relax on your homeward cruise with a glass of wine, listening to some great live music.
