"Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is located just 15 minutes north of Cairns city and 50 minutes south of Port Douglas in Cairns, Tropical North Queensland, Australia. Embark on a fascinating journey of discovery with Skyrail Rainforest Cableway over and deep into Australia’s Wet Tropics World Heritage Area that has survived against all odds to become the home of the world’s oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest. Enjoy a truly unique perspective of this ancient landscape; glide metres above the pristine jungle canopy before descending to explore the rainforest close up. Skyrail Rainforest Cableway was one of the earliest operators to receive certification under the Advanced Ecotourism national accreditation program by Ecotourism Australia. Skyrail has demonstrated a 20 year and beyond commitment to ecologically sustainable tourism, which fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation. Skyrail also became the first business in the Pacific region to receive the EarthCheck Platinum Certification and is the only cableway in the world to have achieved this level of certification.
