Cairns isn’t all snorkelling and sundowners. It’s the perfect balmy holiday haven, big on attractions and has plenty to explore as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.

Cairns offers an absolute smorgasbord of things to see and do, with natural attractions and beautiful scenery to explore in almost every direction. The most obvious is the unmissable natural wonder, the Great Barrier Reef.  The reef alone is more than enough to justify a trip to Cairns. But look inland, and you'll find even more to discover, including the impressive Daintree Rainforest. Plus, if you want to see another of the world's most diverse natural environments, Cape Tribulation is also within easy reach of this amazing destination.
