Stelladoro Posted August 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2017 We will arrive in Cairns next April on the Sea Princess (10 to 7). Is there a way to determine if the ship will dock in town or tender further away? Is this ship small enough to dock? Hope so. We would like to book a train and Skyrail to Kuranda ( or Skyrail both ways if not enough time). Is the train far away from the dock? Is the Skyrail a shorter distance away? Best to take a taxi to get there? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'm fairly certain she will be docked at Cairns. You should have plenty of time to do the Kuranda train and skyrail. If you book it through the Skyrail website you can also book coach transfers from and to Cairns - they will probably pick up at the wharf or at a nearby hotel. https://www.skyrail.com.au/cairnstours/skyrail-kuranda-rail. It's a great trip. We did it some years ago and used the coach transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelladoro Posted August 4, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thanks so much for your input. We'll book book package with Skyrail, train and pick up and drop off at hotel. I don't see option for pick up at the port. But some of the hotels on their pick up list are located very close to the cruise terminal, so I hope we can just walk to hotel.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It will be a very easy walk to the hotels near the cruise terminal. You shouldn't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy and Charlie's Mum Posted August 12, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2017 This company picks up from the wharf in Cairns and does the Skyrail and Train including lunch, great value for money. http://www.cairnstablelandtours.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
