Welcome to Queensland’s Cairns

Rapture, blazing sun and memories of a carefree beach break, these are ideal makings for the break of a lifetime when you visit Cairns and Australia’s Queensland.

Blessed with a holiday climate all year-round, boasting temperatures in the summer months (October-April) of 29-33 degrees C, and winter months (April-October) 25-29 degrees C, Cairns can offer some of the planet’s most engaging natural tourist attractions, the great barrier reef, the rainforest and the Australian outback, and they are all here awaiting your visit.

The very friendly residents of Tropical North Queensland will show you the kind of warm and non-snotty friendship that has become the standard to aspire to for other tourism hot-spots. Adventure tourism, night life, great eating and shopping multiply the charm and attraction of this fabulous city.

If you have been here before, welcome back. If you are here for your first adventure, bask in our attractions and enjoy your vacation. Queensland’s finest non-capital city, Cairns is the international entrance to Far North Queensland. It is a vibrant cosmopolitan place with warm, sunny tropical days contrasted by cooling ocean breezes.

Indulge in a walk along the famous Esplanade or satisfy your lust for food in one of the city’s many multi-cultural, diverse and prize-winning places to eat. Cairns grants 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 many visitors who want to see the authentic Australia. Laze on the sandy beaches, snorkel on the reef and experience the unique tropical rainforests that date back to when the continent was part of ancient Gondwanaland, thousands of years ago.

Take a dip in the famous Esplanade lagoon, then cast your eyes across the serene waters of Trinity Inlet and you will discover coastal ranges and mangrove areas that have changed little since the site was branded by Captain James Cook in 1770. The beautiful Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect place to spend a lazy day basking in the sun and wading in the lagoon’s cool and inviting water.

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 more active.

Cairns is very well suited to walking, or travel by bicycle. Well used routes and dedicated walking paths abound. A tour of the Cairns Botanical Gardens is not to be missed. It claims 38 hectares of natural Aussie gardens which are kept to big city botanical garden standards, and many species found here cannot be seen elsewhere.

Located among the plants is a coffee shop and eatery, which is open daily for breakfast and lunch. Access to the gardens is free.
