Where does the tour actually start — do I get picked up from my hotel?

Yes, round-trip transfers are included from selected hotels in Cairns city, Northern Beaches (Palm Cove) and Port Douglas. If your property isn't on the pick-up list, you'll be directed to the nearest central meeting point. Transfers are not available from private residences.

Does it matter which way round we do the railway and cableway?

The sequence of the Scenic Railway and Skyrail may be reversed depending on operational conditions on the day. Both experiences are included regardless of order.

Is lunch really included, and what's on the menu?

Yes, an Aussie BBQ lunch is included at Rainforestation Nature Park. If you have specific dietary requirements, contact us before you travel so we can check with the operator.

Is this tour suitable for young children?

Yes. Children under 4 years old are admitted free of charge, though no seat will be reserved for them. The Army Duck ride, wildlife park and cultural show are all popular with families.

What happens if it rains?

The tour operates in most weather conditions, including rain. Bring a light waterproof layer and comfortable shoes — the rainforest is at its most atmospheric in a drizzle.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Cancellation terms are confirmed at checkout. We recommend checking the policy shown on the ticket options page before completing your booking.
