As one of the gateways to the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns is
the main hub for visitors to Far North Queensland and is a great place to base
yourself for a few days of relaxation and activity alike. Take a trip out to
the reef itself or head inland to the amazing rainforests of the Daintree
region to experience one of the few places where the rainforest meets the
beach. The town itself offers a huge range of activities from bungee jumping
and cableways gliding over the canopy to swimming lagoons.
Whatever you do whilst in Cairns, be sure to get yourself out to the Greater
Barrier Reef, one of Australia’s top attractions - there’s a myriad of options
of how to visit this unique place with option for every level from qualified
diver to total water-phobe, but the most important thing to our mind is just to
make sure you get out there - it’s amazing!
I was lucky enough to take a helicopter ride over the Great
Barrier Reef and would strongly recommend doing this as it give you a totally
different perspective of this world wonder.
Between classy Port Douglas and laid back Cairns are a string of smaller beach
resorts such as beautiful Palm Cove and Trinity Beach which offer a more
intimate hideaway for a Queensland beach retreat, with easy access to either of
their larger neighbours but a more low-key feel. This stretch of the Queensland
Coast is a picture-postcard of tropical gems.
