What to do
With limited time in Cairns, you’ll want to be sure to make the most of your adventure. You can choose to stay in the city or to explore the city’s surroundings.
If you prefer to spend your time exploring the city, there are a range of activities to enjoy. You can take a dip in the lagoon, stroll through the botanical garden, visit Cairns ZOOM, and soak in the sun on the beach.
Alternatively, you can choose to spend two days exploring the famous landmarks surrounding the city.
Great Barrier Reef
A trip to Cairns doesn’t seem complete without viewing the Great Barrier Reef. You will have to travel around 45 minutes by boat to reach the reef. We offer a range of reef tours to make the most out of your day on the water. You can choose to stay out of the water and view the reef from the boat. Or you can choose to snorkel and dive, further exploring the underwater wonder.
Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation
The Daintree Rainforest is another spectacular place to visit while in Cairns. The Daintree is Australia’s largest rainforest and is a great location for hiking and soaking in swimming holes. You can also find Cape Tribulation while visiting the rainforest. Cape Tribulation is where the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest meet, providing jaw-dropping scenery.
