About Cairns
Cairns, considered the gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, is a city in tropical Far North Queensland. Cairns is the heart of Tropical North Queensland, a vibrant city that blends a laid-back tropical sensibility with a buzzing multicultural lifestyle. Hit the morning markets, have a drink in a hip bar, swim in the sparkling Esplanade Lagoon or escape the heat in one of the city’s shady parks and gardens. Cairns is where two greatest natural treasures meet, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, so there’s a new adventure to be had every day.
Cairns is the only place in the world where two natural UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites sit side by side: the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest.
