Cairns is the gateway to the hub of activity. It’s an easy going city with some superb restaurants, resort-style shopping and along with nearby Port Douglas, the best place in Tropical North Queensland from which to access the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest’s.

Tropical North Queensland is one of the great adventure destinations of the world. Imagine a place where you can whitewater raft grade 5 rapids one day, hot air balloon, bungy jump and parachute the next, kayak to tropical islands the next, dive the Great Barrier Reef the next, mountain bike through the rainforests the next, and horse ride on deserted beaches …… there are over 600 tours available.
If the fasted paced adventure activity is not what you are looking for, and perhaps a secluded beach with a picnic lunch is, hiking the Daintree rainforest, or lying in your hammock with nothing but the wind in the tree’s and the waves crashing on the beach ……….. there are many options available for you too!
