Tropical North Queensland’s gateway, Cairns is 1 hour by boat from the world’s largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef, and 100 km from the World Heritage Listed rainforests of Daintree and Cape Tribulation. Cairns, itself, offers plenty of dining options, Flecker Botanic Gardens, and stunning beaches – but swim within the anti-stinger enclosures. Nearby, world-class golf, white water rafting, diving, and snorkelling await.
