Cairns is lively and very touristy its ok Be prepared to be disappointed Mossman Gorge dont bother very controlled and you are not allowed to really walk they are not happy as it is through an indigenous community You are strongly encouraged to pay $15 to take a bus to the gorge In addition most of the areas visited are conveniently closed to the public for supposed your safety and repairs taking many months Examples Lake Placid Barron Gorge I grew up here came back to visit it is no longer free to walk around your own country The islands such as fitzroy not bad but again very crowded Its worth a look but be prepared to find it too crowded and commercialGuest review byAlfred - 8.0
Cairns is busy and has a lot going on.
Cairns is busy and has a lot going on. It possibly suits younger people more. If you’re after reef trips or island trips it’s perfect. If you want a less action packed pace you should probably head to Port Douglas.Guest review byLindaUnited Kingdom - 10.0
great place to escape the cold winter in the south.
great place to escape the cold winter in the south. excellent place to discover the rain forest or go for snorkeling at the reef. enjoyed great dinner at the Balinese Bayleaf restaurant , had great tours to Daintree ForestGuest review byJoerg MichaelUnited States - 10.0

Tours are great paranella park and kuranda are the 2 I recommend. There is plenty to do around cairns city. Muddies playground was just 5 minutes walk to the esplanade from where we stayed its more for younger children and there is a cafe next to it where you can order extra hot coffee. And the lagoon is great for those who love the water.Guest review byKim - 10.0

Cairns is one of the best Cities to go to as it has the best of both worlds. As you the amazing Reef to discover and then you have the hinterland as well. Lots of places to eat and a wide variety of cuisines.Guest review byKarenAustralia - 10.0

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very good - What previous guests thought, 941 reviewsApartment was spacious and clean with one of the best view. Restaurants was just outside the building. It was closer to shops,the esplanade lagoon and closer to almost everything. Rsl next to building and perfect for family with children. All I can say is we really enjoyed our stay. Tour booking centre was just next door, cairns shopping mall 5 minutes drive away. Will definitely be back againGuest review byFipeAustralia
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 5.9Passable - What previous guests thought, 1,649 reviewsSpacious room with balcony, sea view and hot buffet breakfast that's on the esplanade, has free parking and is a pleasant walk from all you need in Cairns. It's great. Only down side is that it's an old, large hotel that you could say needs modernisation but that was reflected in the price. We would use it again.Guest review byKevinUnited Kingdom
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very good - What previous guests thought, 2,161 reviewsLocation was practically unmatched, amazing rooftop bar and the room was simple, but stylish and comfortable. The hotel was walking distance to pretty much anything worth seeing in Cairns City: the lagoon, Ferris Wheel, local restaurants, the esplanade, the aquarium, the art gallery, and much more.Guest review byKalebAustralia
