CARINS

Cairns is a dynamic destination renowned for encompassing two of Australia’s most distinguished natural sites: the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. With its tropical climate, relaxed ambience, and diverse range of activities and attractions, Cairns stands out as a premier location for travellers. Our Cairns tours provide comprehensive opportunities to experience both terrestrial and marine environments, including prominent destinations such as the Atherton Tablelands, Fitzroy Island, and, notably, the Great Barrier Reef.

Cairns Reef Day Tours & Trips

Although the Great Barrier Reef is famously visible from space, its remarkable underwater environment can only be truly appreciated through direct exploration. We offer a variety of day trips from Cairns to the outer reef, ensuring an option suitable for every visitor. All our reef tours depart daily and include snorkelling with all required equipment provided, facilitating immersion in the region’s rich marine biodiversity.

For both experienced divers and newcomers, the Great Barrier Reef Deluxe Tour features a scuba diving component for in-depth exploration. Alternatively, the Great Barrier Reef Pontoon Adventure offers multiple means to enjoy the reef, including fish feeding presentations, glass-bottom boat excursions, and semi-submersible tours. For guests seeking a more extended experience, our one- or two-night liveaboard tours enable overnight stays aboard a luxury vessel, offering two or three days dedicated to snorkelling or diving within this ecologically significant area.

Green Island and Fitzroy Island tours

Our Green Island and Fitzroy Island tours focus on the inner reef, offering day trips to these idyllic islands. Visitors may snorkel directly from the beach, traverse rainforest trails, or relax on pristine beaches. The surrounding seagrass meadows are recognised habitats for turtles, presenting opportunities for observation during aquatic activities.

Additional Sightseeing Tours from Cairns

Beyond its association with the reef, Cairns is also celebrated for the lush rainforests and unspoiled coastlines of the Daintree Rainforest. Guided tours invite guests to experience the dense tropical vegetation, observe native wildlife, and appreciate the serenity of what Sir David Attenborough has aptly described as “the most extraordinary place on Earth.” Our one- and two-day tours from Cairns feature exploration of the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation, including guided walks, swimming in natural settings, and the potential to view crocodiles during a cruise on the Daintree River. Overnight stays at Cape Tribulation are available for those wishing to explore the area further.

For additional nature-focused excursions, our one-day tour to the Atherton Tablelands includes visits to notable waterfalls such as Millaa Millaa Falls and Josephine Falls, as well as the impressive Curtain Fig Tree. Participants are encouraged to watch for some of Australia’s rarer native species, including the cassowary, platypus, and tree kangaroo.
