Cairns is the hub for onward travel to the northern beaches, Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation, Fitzroy and Green Islands and The Barrier Reef. Personally we found 2 nights in Cairns sufficient for this purpose.RobynAustralia - Scored 1010

the hospitality in Cairns was fabulous, free entertainment almost every night, and the bus fare at 50 cents per sector was outstanding making it so easy to go anywhere and do most things, the free pool just outside our hotel was so inviting.JillianNew Zealand - Scored 8.08.0

At this time of the year the weather was amazing, people were so friendly and helpful but in saying that weren't Aussies either. Is a walkable city so park on the outskirts and walk in is best thing to do. Lots of entertainment venues, cafes, restaurants, caters well for the international tourists, if you're looking for purely Aussie experience it is hard to find due the international target market Lots of short drives and day of half day activities. Will be planning a trip back soonSTEVEAustralia - Scored 1010

Kuranda Scenic Rail and Skyrail is brilliant and worth doing. We also hired a car and drove to Trinity Beach, Palm Cove and Port Douglas, easy drive and well worth visiting. Other things to do: Moore Reef and Fitzroy Island day tour, we went with Sunlover Reef Cruises, well organised and great fun, the pontoon on Moore Reef was brilliant! Another one we did was with Cairns Adventure Tours - Mossman gorge, Daintree and Cape Tribulation - Our tour guide, Matthew was awesome.

- From $200.73 per nightScored 8.08.0Rated very goodVery Good · 2,261 reviewsthe property was great! Check in was quick and simple and the staff were friendly. We had a superior room and it was lovely, nice little view of the Cairns Esplanade and water. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We only stayed as an added overnight stay before our flight as our flights were changed and we are glad we booked with pacific hotel cairns for the quick stop over. We had our 4 month old baby and the staff were wonderful and had a portacot ready for us in our room.
