An international tourist hub, the warm weather, the beaches and the location allow for an abundance of outdoor activities to suit travelers of all shapes and sizes.

Cairns centre is a stunning place to spend the day strolling. The Esplanade is a social hub, offering a beautiful lagoon, lush grass, cafes, restaurants and a scenic boardwalk. The lagoon is a popular spot for children as it is patrolled.

Explore the Great Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site. Snorkelling, diving or a trip in a glass bottomed boat mean everyone gets the chance to see the stunning marine life.

Crocodile adventures and aboriginal walks are a popular and a fantastic thing to do with children. Spend the day exploring the tropical rainforests, learning about Aboriginal culture and finding crocodiles!

The rainforests are ripe for adventure, take a hike or rail trip up the mountains and immerse yourself in the stunning natural scenery. Waterfalls, colourful birds and local villages are among the many things you can expect to see.
