Description
Experience 40 to 60 enchanting minutes up in the air on a dawn hot air balloon flight over the stunning Atherton Tablelands. After the flight, enjoy a free and easy visit to Kuranda Rainforest Village with plenty of time for shopping, breakfast and exploring. Conclude your day by riding the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, which takes you over the spectacular Kuranda Range and back to Cairns.
This ballooning and Skyrail package in Cairns combines two incredible ways of experiencing Cairns and its surrounding landscape, with time to explore the mountain village of Kuranda in between. Your day out starts with an early morning pick up from your Cairns accommodation to catch a dawn hot air balloon flight with Hot Air. Soar over the Atherton Tablelands, also known as the Cairns Highlands, for an exhilarating 40 to 60 minutes with your highly skilled Hot Air pilot. Upon landing, join in with balloon pack up games and laughs, as well as enjoying a champagne toast to celebrate your spectacular morning in Cairns with Hot Air.
After your hot air balloon flight, you'll be ready for some well-deserved breakfast. Your Hot Air guide will drop you off at Kuranda Village where you will have 3-4 hours of free time to buy breakfast (at own cost), visit the Kuranda Markets and explore its many attractions. Your Skyrail Rainforest Cableway will be booked in at midday for a 1.5 hour scenic ride over the rainforest from Kuranda back to Cairns. The Skyrail stops at two stations during the journey to Cairns, Red Peak and Barron Falls, for even more incredible views over the Barron Gorge National Park and tropical rainforest. Once you reach the Skyrail Caravonica Terminal, a transfer will be organised to take you back to your Cairns accommodation and reminisce on your unforgettable day out in Cairns.
