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

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

Much to do City re many tours and sights, reef or islands by boat or helicopter; dinner boat cruise, many day trips to Atherton tablelands or train ride to Kuranda and Skyrail Cable Car. New Tomb of Pharoahs exhibition specific to Cairns, various Museums and many restaurants and cafes with a wide variety of cuisines. Good inexpensive bus network and a central railway station. Ferris wheel and lagoon centrally located in park lands. Helipad near Marina for easy access to the reefs and beyond. Airport only 15 minutes by car. Locals are friendly. A safe and interesting city to visit.Guest review byFrankAustralia
