Watching the whole process of setting up all the balloons right through to deflating them was very exciting. We would also like to mention that the Skyrail is a great compliment to the tour and a nice alternative for getting down the hill.

Our experience doing the Hot Air Ballooning and Kuranda Skyrail combination was great. We were transferred in the morning from the Colonial Club in Cairns to Mareeba which is around a one hour drive. Once our driver ​found out​ where the balloon w​ere launching from we were whisked away to a paddock where we took off from. We had a lovely, peaceful thirty minute flight. After packing up the balloon we were then transferred to the small village of Kuranda. It was a characteristic place with markets and lots of small local shops. After lunch we joined the Skyrail cable car. It was an amazing cable car ride through the rainforest consisting of three separate rides stopping off on boardwalks to look around along the way. A wonderful day with spectacular views throughout and I would highly recommend doing both the balloon flight and the skyrail.

My Family and I really enjoyed our time Hot Air Ballooning in the early hours of the morning. The balloon flight was great and we saw lots of Kangaroos as we floated over the bushlands. We had a relaxing walk around the Kuranda markets after. We joined the Skyrail back to Cairns after lunch. The views are spectacular as you glide over the treetops and make sure you get out and have a look around at each stop on the way down.

A wonderful experience all round doing both the hot air balloon flight and skyrail cable cart ride. There were lots of people as it was clearly peak season here in Cairns but nonetheless all the staff were very polite and organised.

The tropics are amazing. We left Cairns in the early morning and drove up through the rainforest and it was pouring with rain. By the time we arrived to the hot air balloon it had cleared up and we had a beautiful flight. The weather was perfect for the rest of the day and we really enjoyed our skyrail ride over the kuranda rainforest.
