Botanic gardens were lovely, Muddy's playground and lagoon were great for the kids. Night markets were very small and not much variety. We had nice meals at restaurants on/near the esplanade and at the Marina. Good location to go to other sites such as Kuranda and Crystal Cascades.

Great Barrier Reef.
Great Barrier Reef. Highlight of the trip. City is well planned too. Need to plan well to cover things around Cairns such as Mosman, daintree, port Douglas etc etc Was on my bucket list since a very long time. Happy to have visited Had some unsavoury experiences in the CBD with some drunk young boys but that can happen anywhere

We booked a night at Green Island.
We booked a night at Green Island. Fantastic experience. Highly recommend staying at least one night. We took the 8.30am ferry over and spent the day snorkelling, kayaking and sunbaking. We swam with large green turtles and saw loads of beautiful colourful fish and reef sharks. Nice easy walk thru rainforest. Ordered a $85 hamper and picnic rug to eat on the beach watching the sun set. Was just enough for 2 people. Rooms had a very tropical, almost Bali style feel and very nicely set out. Weather was perfect. Not too busy due to covid preventing overseas visitors. Awesome place. Cairns itself has a lot to offer. Stayed in Novotel 1 night which has a lovely beach style pool with swim up bar for food and drinks. Also spent 1 night at Colonial Club Resort which is perfect for families with 2 awesome pool areas and very well priced. Great full breakfast available. Highly recommend.

We stayed overnight because my husband had to attend the Cairns Day Surgery (we live in Port Douglas). The Ibis is an excellent location for the Day Surgery and for the Civic Centre (live theatre). We have stayed in this hotel (through it's different name changes) over the years. It is now rundown but up for sale. Hopefully it will be completely renovated after it sells.

Cairns City Palms
Cairns
From $84 per nightThe staff is AMAZING!!! We left a notebook and some pictures on the nightstand in a rush early that morning to get to our dive site. When I realized they were missing I emailed them immediately and was told they would hold the items for me. When I went to pick them up, the photos were still missing. The main guy, I'm assuming owner or manager called the housekeeper, found out which trash bin she used, and dug through the rubbish to make sure I got what was missing. How AMAZING! Most people would just shrug their shoulders and say sorry. The room was clean and just as pictured. The only negative is the parking is a bit limited and small, however the customer service definitely made up for that!!

From $210 per nightApartment was situated in a great location for our needs. Secure underground parking was provided which was great and liked the fact we were a short walk to a small strip of shops to grab a coffee or easy dinner options. Staff member who checked us in was super friendly and helped us with taxi bookings and maps to get us to our first destination which was appreciated. Would definitely come back here again and recommend to family and friends.
