Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. This is a magical world of undersea wonder that you can see and enjoy in many ways. In Cairns, you can catch a boat to the reef, swim with the fish, post a letter from the edge of the Great Barrier Reef surrounded by water, walk through some of the oldest rainforests in the world then escape to an island off the coast to shut out the world for a while.
Cairns is the perfect place to relax but it also offers the excitement of adventure on the high seas. Snorkeling, diving, sailing, island hopping – what a way to live your life. There is no better way to experience the natural wonder of the world in the world's largest marine park than from a boat where you can get close up and personal with a diverse range of marine life.
In Cairns, you can mix adventure fun and relaxation in the sun. From the fast thrills of kite flying and para sailing, to checking out the biodiversity of the rainforest and waterfalls in the area – you can fit in as little or as much adventure as you desire.
And don't forget the food. Cairns is the centre of the fishing industry and you'll get the best seafood anywhere, bought straight from the boats. Lush tropical fruits and fresh vegetables abound everywhere you go. And a must try are the award winning restaurants in picturesque settings and do book ahead for the best Cairns hotels. |
