Cairns Tours
A great way to see Cairns is with an experienced tour guide as they can provide you with insightful information and take you to places you might not have seen otherwise.
You can stay in Cairns and see a whole bunch of things or only travel 30 minutes by train, boat or tour bus to a whole range of destinations including the Daintree Rainforest, Great Barrier Reef and the Atherton Tablelands. You can also travel a little further away and see Cape Tribulation, Daintree River and the Bloomfield Track.
There are helicopter tours, river cruises, bus-a-bouts and boat charters so you'll be able to see a wide variety of wildlife, plants and marine life. And the best thing is there will be someone to tell you exactly what you're looking at!
