Had the best day. Staff were friendly and helpful. I was afraid of heights but managed to overcome it with doing hot air ballooning with pilot Markham (who made us feel very safe) and the cable cart ride over the rainforest. The views were fantastic.

We flew in the hot air balloon, it went a lot higher than I anticipated but it was great. The Kuranda skyrail was also very interesting and it was great to see a real life rainforest. Make sure you take the short, free ranger tour when you stop off along the way going back down to cairns. We got to meet Wally the python which was a highlight for my kids.

The view was magnificent and breathtaking. It's the first time our family took to be air on a hot air balloon! We can't wait to do it again. The Skyrail was nice with good views.
