The Kuranda Scenic Railway is perhaps the most famous way.
Built over 100 years ago, this amazing train takes you on a journey
through the rainforest, past beautiful Stoney Creek and the spectacular
Barron Falls, passing through 15 hand carved tunnels, around 93 curves & over 30 or more bridges, arriving at the Kuranda Station directly opposite the hostel.
The train departs from Cairns Railway Station every morning.
 
 

The Skyrail is another popular and exciting way to travel.
The world's longest gondola cableway begins in Caravonica Terminal
just a few kilometers north of Cairns, and climbs over the rainforest
canopy until it reaches Kuranda Terminal, again directly opposite the hostel.
