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

Cairns provides entry 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 sandy beaches, dive on the reef and experience the unique tropical rainforests that date back to when Australia was part of ancient Gondwanaland, thousands of years ago.

Take a swim in the ultra-modern Cairns Esplanade lagoon, then cast your eyes across the calm waters of Trinity Inlet and you will see coastal mountains and mangrove habitats that have changed little since the site was discovered by Captain James Cook in 1770.

The beautiful Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect place to spend a lazy day soaking up the sun and dipping in the lagoon’s cool and inviting water. There are many shady spots to escape from the sun in the heat of the day, as well as barbeque facilities. The boardwalk has unique displays of Cairns’s local history and has many exercise facilities for those keen on getting a bit more active.

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 species 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.
