Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, stepping stone to the ancient World Heritage listed Daintree National Park, and entry point to the Australia's Great Outback.

With over 600 daily tour operations for the tropical wildernesses of the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage listed rainforests, Cairns is the hub of Tropical North Queensland's tourism industry. An eclectic mix of lifestyles ensures Cairns remains vibrant, from backpackers sunning themselves along the Esplanade to alfresco dining - all tastes and budgets are catered for.
