Wonderful day out starting with the awesome crew at hot air. Top level service and the balloon ride was incredible. Thanks to Tony our driver and pilot Bob and crew Garry. Best day out and highlight of our holiday in Cairns.

We would just like to give a huge thanks for a fantastic day! Can't wait to see the photos of us on the balloon. The skyrail was also great, the rainforest is amazing. It was quite a long day and we nearly fell asleep on the train ride back to Cairns.

Wow, we can not thank you enough! Our family enjoyed the whole experience. With the early morning start and then the day in Kuranda we thought it was all very worthwhile. The only gripe was not being able to find a decent coffee in Kuranda.

This is a great thing to do if you have a spare day in Cairns. We ordered the option that included transfers from the Shangri La hotel, thirty-minute balloon flight and the train back to Freshwater station from Kuranda. The balloon flight was magnificent and we were lucky enough to see part of the sunrise over the mountains. We were then dropped to the Kuranda village which is full of lots of little shops, cafes etc. Around 1:30 pm we walked down to the historic train station and found our carriage. The train departed right on the dot of 2 pm. The one and a half hour train journey through lovely scenery were fascinating. At Freshwater station, we then were bussed back to our hotel. Well worth it!

We had a lovely day doing hot air ballooning in the early morning with a very early pick up and then caught the beautiful vintage train back through the rainforest to Freshwater station. We opted to do the 3:30 pm train to give us nearly the whole day to explore the Kuranda village however it was quite touristy and a little pricey, still nice nonetheless.
