Visit Cairns
Experience Cairns' vibrant tropical culture
Your adventure tucked between two World Heritage-listed natural playgrounds—the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest -offers an incredible selection of activities in one of the most unique and diverse regions in Australia! Our region offers visitors an incredibly diverse must-do list of eco-certified touring experiences, local bars & breweries, fresh local produce and dining, and a relaxed, tropical lifestyle only found in the north.
Why not arrive early and acclimate to the tropics with a leisurely run along the 2.5km Cairns Esplanade, an early morning power walk on one of the four challenging Arrow walking tracks, or go hard on one of the region's hiking and walking trails.
Get wet on the Great Barrier Reef by snorkelling or diving the largest coral reef system in the world; relax on a palm-fringed island on golden sands; or venture into the lush, green rainforest of the Wet Tropics with an Indigenous guide to learn about bush medicines and native foods.
