DESCRIPTION
Minimum of 2 passengers
Our 20-minute rainforest scenic product provides a ‘taste’ of this
incredible World Heritage listed natural environment. Cairns sits on a
floodplain to the south of the mouth of the mighty Barron River. The
Barron’s headwaters start in the Mount Hypipamee National Park at an
elevation of 3,900 ft. The river flows 65 kilometres across fertile
volcanic soils of the Atherton Tablelands and then journeys through the
quaint village of Kuranda before cascading down the 850 ft high Barron
Falls and moving across the Cairns floodplains out into the Coral Sea.
The Barron Gorge is an impressive natural feature carved out of the Great
Dividing Range and the Falls at its head are intimidating to behold when
in full flight during the tropical wet season. This flight tracks up
through the Barron Gorge up to and over the Barron Falls, passing
over the world famous Skyrail Rainforest Cableway where it spans the
river and around the village of Kuranda, before turning for the coast and
descending over the lush eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range on
the return leg with panoramic views over Cairns City and out to the
Reef.
