Queensland’s finest regional city, Cairns is the world’s gateway to Tropical North Queensland. It is an exciting cosmopolitan destination with warm, sunny tropical days contrasted by cooling ocean breezes. Enjoy a stroll along the iconic Esplanade or satisfy your hunger in one of Cairns’ many multi-cultural, diverse and prize-winning restaurants.

Cairns gives access to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforests along with the Australian Outback. Cairns, with its international and domestic airport, is the first stop for many visitors who want to see the real Australia.

Relax on the tropical beaches, dive on the reef and experience the unique tropical rainforests that date back to when the continent was part of ancient Gondwanaland, thousands of eons ago.

Take a swim in the modern Cairns Esplanade lagoon, then look across the calm waters of Trinity Inlet and you will discover coastal ranges and mangrove habitats that have changed little since the site was branded by Captain James Cook in 1770.

The beautiful Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect place to spend a lazy day basking in the sun and wading in the lagoon’s cool and inviting shallows. There are many shaded spots to escape from the sun in the heat of the day, as well as cooking facilities. The boardwalk has unique displays of Cairns’s local history and has many exercise facilities for those keen on getting a bit of exercise.

Cairns is extremely well suited to walking, or travel by bicycle. Well trodden routes and dedicated walking tracks are abundant or a visit to the Cairns Botanical Gardens is not to be missed. 38 hectares of native Australian gardens are maintained to big city botanical garden standards, and many plants found here cannot be seen elsewhere. Located among the plants is a coffee shop and restaurant, it is open every day for breakfast and lunch. Admission to the gardens is free.
