Booked this combo (Skyrail up and the scenic train down) with my friend. The scenery on the way was amazing. We especially like the scenic train, it stopped at some great spots to see the waterfall and the rain forest.
The itinerary is perfect for all kinds of ages of people. Highly recommend this!
What a beautiful view when you looked out from the skyrail train. It’s a must go tour! A thoughtful reminder to bring the mosquito spray along with you in scenic train.
