Celebrating 30 years of operation, Skyrail is undertaking an $85 million upgrade to enhance the overall rainforest experience. The project includes replacing the existing cableway infrastructure and introducing new gondolas, improving accessibility while delivering a quieter, smoother journey. Due to this, Skyrail is closed between 20 July - 18 August 2026, so during this time you only have the option of return Train, or one way Train & one way Coach transfer.
