Welcome to Cairns, the tropical heartbeat of Far North Queensland, where the reef meets the rainforest and adventure starts the moment you step off the plane.

This laid-back coastal city is your basecamp for exploring two World Heritage-listed wonders: the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest.

 

Spend your days snorkelling or diving vibrant coral gardens, spotting turtles, or taking a scenic flight over the famous Heart Reef. Back on land, head north to Cape Tribulation, where the jungle meets the ocean, or get your adrenaline fix with bungy jumping, white-water rafting, or even skydiving with ocean views.

 

Craving something slower? Palm Cove offers beachside bliss and sunset cocktails, while the Kuranda Scenic Railway and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway take you above the treetops to a colourful mountain village filled with markets and local art.

 

And don’t forget to explore Fitzroy and Green Island, both just a short boat ride away and perfect for a day in the sun.

 

Whether you’re into high-energy adventures, nature escapes, or just soaking in the tropical vibes, Cairns is your gateway to everything wild, beautiful, and unforgettable in Australia’s northeast.
