Cairns & Great Barrier Reef Holidays

In Queensland’s Cairns and Great Barrier Reef, you’ll find UNESCO World Heritage sites, idyllic islands and no shortage of natural wonders to explore. 

Cairns is the gateway to the Tropical North. There is so much to see and do with a plethora of tours offering nature, cultural and entertainment experiences. As the only place on Earth where two World Heritage Listed areas meet, Cairns is also the perfect base to explore the Great Barrier Reef, rainforest and tropical islands. The city prides itself on its cultural heritage with a focus on Indigenous culture. The laid-back atmosphere and exciting range of activities make Cairns a place you’ll want to visit time and time again.

Whether it’s snorkelling through the vibrant coral gardens of the Great Barrier Reef, sleeping high up in a treehouse in the world’s oldest rainforest, connecting with Indigenous culture, or seeing the world’s best-preserved ancient lava tubes, there’s an adventure waiting for you.

Here, you can choose to stay in tropical towns like Cairns, Port Douglas or Palm Cove where the weather is as warm as the locals who’ll welcome you.
