Real Aussie Says

Snorkel or dive the Outer Great Barrier Reef, 1 night live-aboard experience, snorkellers and divers can share cabins, introductory diving is possible, you can do up to five certified dives per day and even try fluoro diving.

Arrival guide to Cairns

Cairns is the sort of place that people gravitate to relax and have a good time. The warm tropical climate and access to the Great Barrier Reef and rainforest make it a special place to visit.

Cairns is in North Queensland and is easily accessible by road or by plane. Most people fly here unless they have been slowly traveling up the east coast of Australia.

There’s no shortage of adventure activities to do on one of our Cairns tours Packages. Otherwise, there’s an emphasis on nature activities and getting out into the environment whether it be to Cape Tribulation, the nearby Daintree rainforest on the gondola or visiting the Cairns Dome or Rainforest habitat to see rainforest animals up close.

Check out our Cairns tours Packages or ask us for more information.
