25.01.2022 One benefit of our COVID Safe plan, is that only family groups or guests who reside together can travel together in the same gondola. There's nothing quite like experiencing #theancientrainforest in your very own exclusive gondola! You can take comfort in knowing that each gondola is also freshly sanitised between guests. : IG/chanelbaranphoto

24.01.2022 Did you know that a misty day in #TheAncientRainforest is a photographer's dream?

Remember, bookings are essential!... https://www.skyrail.com.au/ : IG/amitsonawala #MistyRainforest

24.01.2022 In the last few weeks, we have been working hard to complete routine maintenance. Safety is our number one priority here at Skyrail, and therefore routine maintenance is of utmost importance. We are thrilled to confirm that all maintenance and work has been successfully completed and we are beyond excited to be re-opening again in a few days time! We can't wait to welcome visitors back into the ancient rainforest once again... Pre-bookings are a must!

19.01.2022 Travelling within Queensland and thinking of visiting Cairns soon? Why not include us in your itinerary... spend a day (or half day) discovering Australia’s living natural wonder, the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest on earth. With these views, how can you not? If you look close enough, you may be able to see @greenislandcairns poking above that stunning blue ocean : IG/enroutevacay... #TheAncientRainforest See more

18.01.2022 A stunning basket fern at #RedPeak You will see many of these beautiful ferns on your Skyrail experience. These ferns perch on the trunk or branch of a tree, and do not steal any nutrients from the tree. A number of ferns specialise in this lifestyle in tropical rainforests because the forest floor is too gloomy for them to survive. In dryer conditions, these ferns shed the fertile (green) fronds but retain the sterile (brown) ones so they can still collect leaf litter and water to stay alive. We think this is pretty impressive. Thanks @elizabethwanders for sharing this wonderful photo! #TheAncientRainforest

05.01.2022 Each year we recognise #WorldRiversDay in September, to help celebrate the world's waterways. Did you know that rivers and waterways play a vital role in the ancient rainforest? Australia's Wet Tropics World Heritage Area has many aquatic ecosystems including fast-moving streams flowing from mountaintops, rapid rivers cascading through gorges and over waterfalls, meandering coastal rivers, wetlands, mangrove communities, and estuaries! Each rich in biodiversity providing a home to many species of fish, frogs, reptiles, and birds. When you think rainforest you probably think trees and solid ground, however, waterways are equally important and bring so much life.
