Trips and Tours to Cairns

Gateway to the spectacular Great Barrier Reef and tropical rainforests of North Queensland, Cairns is the perfect base for lovers of the great outdoors. While Cairns itself is home to bustling artisan markets, small art galleries, cosy cafes and world-class restaurants, the real fun can be found on day trips from the city. Discover the underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef with excursions to coral cays where you can snorkel, scuba dive or ride in a glass-bottom boat. Or, head inland and ride a skyrail through the tropical rainforest of Kuranda, go white water rafting on Tully River or zipline through the Daintree Rainforest. Choose from these and more with our range of day tours and activities from Cairns, all available to book online today with live availability and instant confirmation.
