Environmental & Social Sustainability

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway in Cairns is a world first tourist attraction designed with an environmental conservation concept. Offering a truly unique perspective above the ancient canopy and deep into the World Heritage listed Wet Tropics rainforest.

After undergoing a decade-long benchmarking test and certification program, Skyrail became the first in the Pacific region to receive the EarthCheck Platinum Certification. And is the only cableway in the world to have achieved this level of certification. Now honoured as an EarthCheck Certified Master, the highest available accolade, demonstrating more than 20 years of commitment to the highest standards of environmental care and making social contributions.

As one of the earliest operators to receive certification under the Advanced Ecotourism National Accreditation program by Ecotourism Australia. Skyrail has demonstrated a 20 year and beyond commitment to ecologically sustainable tourism, which fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation.

The Climate Action Certification, which focuses on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, acknowledges products that are dedicated to sustainable operations with climate change awareness. Skyrail has been recognised as a Climate Action Innovator for our proactive efforts in reducing emissions. We will continue our efforts as an innovator and to pave the way for responsible and sustainable tourism.

We are privileged to offer guests the opportunity to explore one of the most fragile environments on Earth and are acting as custodians to protect the natural environment for future generations, creating advocates, and a greater appreciation for a sustainable future.
