Dubbed Nature’s Theme Park after its picturesque landscapes, over 300 days of sunshine a year, dozens of adrenalin rushes, secluded escapes, rare wildlife species, and a whole new world underwater, it’s easy to see why Cairns and Great Barrier Reef is Australia’s most popular holiday destination after Sydney.
Serving as the international gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns is a modern, cosmopolitan city with a friendly, laid back lifestyle. It’s also the only place on earth where two World Heritage-listed areas sit side-by-side.
As well as the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns has four other World Heritage-listed sites you can explore from its door step. The 135 million year old rainforest regions of the Daintree and Cape Tribulation are the oldest tropical rainforests on the planet and home to over 3000 unique bird, plant and wildlife species. Drive a little further north and you can have your very own Australia movie experience in Cape York and the Outback. To the west of Cairns lie the cool tropical wetlands and produce rich Atherton Tablelands; while Mission Beach and the Cassowary Coast in the south are home to Queensland’s highest mountain, golden beaches and white-water rapids.
Port Douglas, international tourist oasis and celebrity escape is just an hour’s drive from Cairns. The luxurious beachside town has a superb range of sophisticated and casual accommodation, shopping at malls or markets, multicultural cuisine and a nightlife which have made it the holiday destination of choice for celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, Pink, and Matthew Mcconaughey just to name a few.
Cairns has over 650 daily tours, including cruises, fishing charters and dive excursions to the Great Barrier Reef and tours or safaris to coastal and inland regions departing from the Cairns CBD daily. So what are you waiting for? Come and see Cairns and Great Barrier Reef for yourself!
