Discover Downunder Cairns

Cairns

Cairns is known not only as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef but is also surrounded by tropical rainforest, mangrove swamps and golden sand beaches. There is Kuranda, a village built in the rainforest highlands. The Tjapukai Aboriginal Dance Theatre to experience Aboriginal culture, wildlife parks and of course diving and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. A little further north is the Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest. Whether it’s participating in the many activities or combining with a stay in some of the area resorts there is something for everyone. Perhaps a few days on a Great Barrier Reef Island – like Lizard Island, Green Island, Dunk Island and Bedarra Island. Or maybe a stay in a rainforest lodge such as Silky Oaks, Daintree Eco Lodge or Coconut Beach
