Cairns Tours and Trip Packages

Cairns is a small city and Australia vacation staple in the tropical north of Queensland, best known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. It enjoys easy access to mountainous rainforests including the ancient Daintree, the oldest rainforest on earth. Offshore, you can enjoy world-class diving or snorkeling, getting close to schools of tropical fish and abundant marine life.

As you stroll along Cairns' Promenade, dip your toes in the very large saltwater lagoon, or shop for souvenirs and tasty treats at the Cairns Night Market. Follow the picturesque coastal drive towards Port Douglas, where most cruises depart for the Great Barrier Reef. Hop on the century-old scenic train to the rainforest village of Kuranda, the perfect spot to take in an Aboriginal “Dreamtime” walk and cultural performance. or an army duck river safari through Rainforestation Nature Park.

To the north of Cairns are a number of excellent beaches perfect for swimming and snorkeling in the winter months. If time allows, don't miss a trip to the Daintree Rainforest, the world’s oldest surviving tropical rainforest, where you can explore the trails or experience a unique guided rainforest tour.
