Happiness, blazing sun and images of a stress-crushing summer holiday, these are perfect components for the vacation of a lifetime when you visit Cairns and tropical North Queensland.

Gifted with an ideal weather pattern all year-round, bragging temperatures in the summer months (October-April) of 29-33°C, and winter (April-October) 25-29°C, Cairns boasts some of the planet’s most exotic natural tourist attractions, the barrier reef, the rainforest and the Australian Outback, and they are all here awaiting for you to discover.

The very friendly residents of Tropical North Queensland will show you the kind of warm and non-snotty freindship that has become the standard to aspire to for other tourism hot-spots. Adventure tourism, night life, good eating and shopping multipy the charm and sexiness of this fabulous destination.

If you have been here before, welcome home. If you are here for your first adventure, bathe in our attractions and enjoy your vacation.

Australia’s premier non-capital city, Cairns is the international entrance to Far North Queensland. It is an exciting cosmopolitan city with warm, sunny tropical days tempered by cooling onshore breezes. Enjoy a walk along the central Esplanade or satisfy your lust for food in one of the city’s many multi-cultural, diverse and award-winning restaurants.

Cairns provides 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 most visitors who want to see the authentic Australia.

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

Take a swim in the iconic Cairns Esplanade lagoon, then cast your eyes across the calm waters of Trinity Inlet and you will view coastal ranges and mangrove areas that have changed little since the site was branded by Captain James Cook in 1770.

The stunning Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect spot to spend a lazy day basking in the sun and wading in the lagoon’s cool and inviting shallows. There are many shady spots to take refuge 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 of exercise.

Cairns is extremely well suited to travel by foot, or travel by cycle. Well trodden pathways and dedicated walking paths abound. A visit to the Cairns Botanical Gardens is not to be missed. It claims 38 hectares of natural Australian gardens which are kept to big city botanical garden standards, and many plants found here cannot be seen anywhere else in the world.  Located among the plants is a coffee shop and restaurant, which is open daily for breakfast and lunch. Access to the gardens is free.
