Weekend getaway to Cairns

Planning a short escape to Cairns? Make the most of your trip with our guide to the city's most popular attractions:

Great Barrier Reef – Made up of hundreds of individual islands of hard and soft coral, the Great Barrier Reef is over 2,300 kilometres long, making it the largest living thing on Earth. And with snorkelling tours regularly operating from the city centre, there's no reason to pass up on an opportunity to see it for yourself.

Daintree Rainforest – Spanning over 1,200 square kilometres, the Daintree Rainforest is the largest of its kind in Australia and, at roughly 135 million years old, the oldest in the world. After a self-guided tour of the amazing parklands, make your way to Cape Tribulation and settle in to one of the nearby beachside bed and breakfasts.

Palm Cove – Located just a short drive from the city centre, Palm Cove is where travellers go to relax between adventures. And with some of Far North Queensland's best restaurants, resorts and spas on its doorstep, this coastal village is the perfect place to unwind after an action-packed weekend.

For more inspiration for your trip to the Tropical North, be sure to see our comprehensive guide to Cairns before take-off.
