What Guests Said About Cairns:
-
Used local buses and taxis to get around.
Used local buses and taxis to get around. Every driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There were lots of great tours available. We went to Kuranda scenic railway and skyrail, city sights tour, Australian armour and artillery museum. Great pubs to eat in were Dunwoody's and Cock and Bull. Friendly locals who could not do enough to advise and help us.
Maxine Australia -
We had 5 nights in Cains, and saw lots.
We had 5 nights in Cains, and saw lots. I absolutely loved the Kuranda Tour (up with the Sky Rail, walk around Kuranda, Rain forestation with Army Duck Drive and Aboriginal Dance etc as well as lunch, coming back with the Scenic Railway). We then also did 2 Island Trips, one to Green Island the other to Fitzroy Island. Fitzroy Island was amazing for snorkelling, we saw lots of colourful fish, coral as well as green turtles. Green Island was not as good for snorkelling, possibly because of the low tide?? Definitely didn't see as much there. Walking around Green Island was very nice. I would like to do all the Fitzroy Island Hikes as well, unfortunately I had a sore foot but definitely next time :) I definitely highly recommend Cairns for any age group. Cairns itself is such a beautiful coastal town with yummy restaurants along the pier. Book tours early enough, since they get booked out very quickly!
Corinne Australia -

id avoid cairns all together go some where else and spend your hard earned money i wish i didgo into the township for a walk and listen to cll out to each other from street to street and couples abusing each other constantlly push bike riders kicking over rubbish bins for fun give it a miss or stay in the high end of cairns. deffinatley not food takeaway is tasteless where we stayed the night markets on the esplanarde were only shops open late not worth the walk the lagoon was being worked on while we were there another dissapointment

Great place to base yourself in for excursion trips.
Great place to base yourself in for excursion trips. The city centre and esplanade are a great place for food choices, the large pool, and general ambience of the town is good. The Esplanade has a variety of places you can eat at. We had no means of transport, but it's only a $30 cab trip in from the airport, and you can walk around pretty easily.
Simon Australia -

Cairns Central YHA
Cairns
From $20 per nightTerrible - do not stay here with family ! It’s loud, beds are uncomfortable, sketchy people everywhere!!! Loud music till early hours of morning. Costs the same as a resort as a family room there. Save yourself money and pay less at cairns resort. They say it’s not a party place, don’t believe it. My children could not sleep. To be honest, I couldn’t. I thought the floor was okay (we checked in and let the kids on the floor, after playing for 3 mins their feet were black ! From the inside hotel room! ) ridiculous. I could have vomited

Reef Palms
Cairns
From $124 per nightA wonderful place for us to stay prior to our early flight home. When we stay in Cairns again in the future, I would actually choose to stay here again. The room was large, well appointed, clean and comfortable, and had everything we would have needed. We met the managers on our arrival, and they were so friendly and helpful. It was also very close to the Esplanade and waterfront, so close for easy walking in to town. We chose this especially due to its close proximity to the airport for an early flight home the following day.

From $194 per night
We had a lovely fresh and clean room, with a wonderful ocean/marina view and a private balcony. We had breakfast at The Backyard hotel restaurant downstairs every morning and it was fantastic with a great selection of hot food items, fruits, toast/pastries and eggs cooked to your liking on request. The location couldn’t be better with fabulous restaurants downstairs facing the marina and a short 5min walk to the main action of the Esplanade. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.
Cara Australia -
From $89 per night
The resort, although huge with what seemed like hundreds of guests was very quiet. The staff were quite friendly and did what they could to make the stay comfy. I enjoyed my stay here, and it will be my go to venue on my return to Cairns in the future. I didn't mind that it wasn't in the city. It felt like you were miles from anywhere (in a good way). The bed was big and comfy...felt like home! Close to airport and car hire too!
Belinda Australia -
