Although not one of the most popular holiday destinations among Australians themselves, a trip to Cairns has become a must for international visitors due to its proximity to the Great Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now, this destination has transformed itself into a laidback and welcoming town that offers a wide range of activities for a holiday in Cairns.

It was not a luxury trip but by no means were we roughing it. The price initially looked a bit expensive but everything was comfortable, the tour manager really was there every minute of the day to ensure things went as planned, even personal situations such as lost luggage benefitted from his attention, even when just helping people call the right numbers and plan accordingly. It really was a good value and much easier than trying to figure it all out, on our own. Favorite Memorable Experience: When we went on the boat out to the fjord, it was an unusually sunny, clear and not-so-cold Winter day (it was impressed upon us how rare this really is). At one point, the boat will get so close to a waterfall that anyone on the bow would get soaked (it's slow to happen - there is plenty of time to dodge it). We were so giddy with the nice weather, the sunshine on our faces, quite a few of us were dodging in-and-out of the water, laughing like kids running through the "sprinkler" still encased in our Winter duds, pure joy on our faces. To top it off, we suddenly saw a full rainbow in that mist, larger and closer than any of us had ever seen. It's moments like that that can't be planned but wouldn't have taken place without the plans before it.

In short this trip was amazing - filled with activities and made friends and memories that will stay with me for a long time. Our CEOs were enthusiastic and knowledgeable about everywhere we went and so supportive of everyone having a great experience. Would highly recommend for anyone looking at solo travelling or having an adventure!

Absolutely amazing guides. Lots of options for free time including free activities in the area. I loved the group chat and photo circle. Having a daily text to tell you times and plan for the next day worked really well. Would highly recommend but budget for the optional activities because they were amazing

It was a fantastic trip!! I enjoyed the company of the other solo travelers and our guide, the city experiences in Melbourne and Sidney and of course the natural and cultural experiences of the Outback. I also had a lot of fun snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef.

I had an amazing trip. A trip of my life really. (tour manager) was amazing, so sweet, professional and organised! The itinerary was also amazing, it was packed, but all throughout the activities were so fun! The people I met was amazing and I’m honestly already missing them. I loved this trip

I had a great time on this tour, Daisy and the local guides showed passion for their cities. I would stay longer if I could. Great mix of personal and free time.

Cairns - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Tour Highlights

  • The outstanding attraction of the Cairns area and any tour in Australia is undoubtedly the Great Barrier Reef. You can organise diving, snorkelling or other trips while based in Cairns to see one of the planet’s most spectacular natural wonders.
  • Cairns has developed into a centre for adventure activities. Skydiving, hang gliding, bungee jumping and others are all offered here.
  • Barbecues are an integral part of Australian culture, and in Cairns, you can take advantage of the free barbecues located along the promenade to take part in this cherished Australian tradition.
  • Whale watching trips are a popular activity in July and August when humpback whales can be seen in the seas around Cairns.
  • There are good hiking trails around Cairns, and hiking enthusiasts should check out the trails in the forested mountains that surround the town.
  • Have a dip in the artificial ‘lagoon’, a large public swimming pool enjoyed by locals and tourists alike, free of charge. It is especially popular between October and May when the sea becomes unsafe due to dangerous jellyfish.
  • Another important natural attraction close to Cairns is the Daintree Rainforest, offering visitors the chance to catch sight of some of the area’s unique wildlife.

Travel Tips

  • Peak season runs from May to November. The rainy season begins in December with chances of flooding.
  • The centre of town is quite small and can be covered comfortably on foot.
  • For popular activities such as diving and skydiving, if you are willing to stay on ‘standby’ for a cancellation, then you can save a significant amount of money since many companies offer large reductions.
