From the moment we were... - From the moment we were picked up at our hotel we had a great time on our tour with Chris. He was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing loads of interesting stories and details that we wouldn't of got with a larger tour. Train ride to Kuranda was scenic with plenty of photo opportunities, Skyrail return was spectacular. Highly recommend Chris and his tour.

Great company and beautiful adventure! - Great excursion from the cruise ship that's almost half the price the ship would've cost. Infinity Fun Travel went out of their way to get us to the Train when Royal made us super late with the tenders into port. Gave us an extra tour around Cairns and Kuranda and then had us back to the tender for the ship 30 minutes early. The train ride is hot (no air conditioning, but a beautiful trip up to the small town of Kuranda but the highlight is taking the 3 gondolas down the mountain with gorgeous views.

Easy and enjoyable - Man was communicative and helped arrange not just our transportation and tickets for the Kuranda Railway and Skyrail, but a Koala encounter that I had requested. He is experienced in the best times to do each activity and had our day planned out for us when we arrived in port from our cruise. We paid a small fee for him to pick us up in Yorkeys Knob, since our ship didn’t dock in Cairns. He provided us with a smooth and enjoyable day with a comfortable van in between each activity. We noticed the large excursions through the ship had groups of people herded along like cattle. We had a much more personalized experience without waiting on a large group of people. He is readily available via cell phone as well.

Great day out. - Would really recommend using Man for this. We were picked up promptly at our hotel and dropped off to catch the train to Karunda. Man met us at Karunda, pointed out where everything was, then left us to explore. He then took us to the start of the Skyrail and drove to meet us at the end terminal. Returned us to our hotel. His car was comfortable and air conditioned. Man was knowledgeable about Cairn and Karunda history. He spoiled us! The railway journey was very comfortable, as we upgraded to Gold class. Comfortable armchairs. Lots of refreshments available. We were very well looked after. Very warm when the train stopped but fine during the journey. Amazing sights and history. The Skyrail was wonderful with 2 opportunities to get off and view. Highly recommend the whole day

Get a Ubet - The train and skyrail are great, but you don’t need to book a tour to di so. They pick up you at the hotel get you the train station, meet you at end of the teain, give a two minutes tour at kuranda, give you the skyrail tickets and meet you st the end to take you to the hotel, Uber can do it bu 10%. Views ate great and worth the train and skyrail, avoid tours do it by yourself.
