Cairns in Review
Cairns in Tropical North Queensland is an exciting place and the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, a magical underwater wonder visitors from all over the planet come to explore and enjoy in many ways. A holiday in Cairns means golden beaches, tropical rainforests and an abundance of adrenaline activities in the form of extreme sports. White-water rafting, diving and snorkelling, skydiving, kite flying, parasailing, fishing for barramundi or marlin, Daintree Rainforest tours (with eco accreditation), trips to the Great Barrier Reef, sailing to small tropical islands…Cairns literally has it all and is the fourth most popular tourist destination in Australia.
Cairns esplanade in the renovated city offers a large swimming lagoon, free public barbecues, children’s playgrounds, walking tracks, shops, restaurants and a Great Barrier Reef Cruise departure Terminal.
Cairns is the ideal place to mix adventure, fun and relaxing on the beach and accommodation for all budgets is widely available. Over the years, eco friendly tourism has gained popularity here. Friendly locals make it easy to immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture and learn more about their stories and heritage.
Gourmet lovers are in the right place. The best seafood bought straight from the fishing boats, fresh products, exotic lush fruit and vegetables combine into delicious dishes and there are opportunities to dine in very exclusive restaurants.
