As we were there to join a cruise we stayed one night before and after the cruise. Weather was hot and humid and not many people around.\ Lots of shops vacant, very quiet. We did enjoy the Art Gallery, an excellent exhibition of birds and botanical paintings by William T Cooper. Our hotel room with a balcony had a lovely view over the harbour. We walked to the Botanical Gardens....a long walk along the beach boardwalk, but caught a bus back to Cairns Central. Had lunch in the Botanical Gardens, not very inspiring, and the garden was tropical with not a lot of colour. If you are not going on a day trip out to the Reef, probably a day in Cairns is enough. We had a delicious Italian meal at Ollies underneath the Sebel Harbour Lights Hotel.
Heather & Brian Australia -
We really enjoyed our stay in Cairns.
We really enjoyed our stay in Cairns. We wanted to see Cairns and the surrounding areas (on our bucket list), so we booked several tours covering the above. Tour No 1: Cairns City Sights and Surround Tour Tour No 2: Discovery tour of the Atherton Tablelands and Paronella Park (located south of Cairns) Tour No 3: Tour on the Great Barrier Reef Tour No 4: Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge and Daintree Rainforest (located north of Cairns) Tour No 5: Kuranda and Port Douglas Recommendation; 1. There are plenty places where you can eat, most of them are very good. 2. Stay in accommodation close to central of Cairns. 3. Visit in cooler months (May to September). From late November to March the weather is hot and humid and also wet (rainy season).

We loved Cairns!
We loved Cairns! It was hot, but not unbearable. We only had a short stay (3.5 days), could have easily stayed another 3 or 4 days. We LOVED the aquarium! It's a laid out really well with loads of awesome information and exhibits. Great value for money. Kuranda Skyrail and scenic railway are also awesome. The Kuranda village has a lot to offer families! It's easy to spend a few hours up there. The locals are really struggling without tourists at the moment, which is heart-breaking. Hartley's Crocodile Adventure is well worth a visit - with plenty of animals and activities to see. It's also great value for money. You could spend the best part of a day here. The Cairns esplanade is awesome, the lagoon is amazing and a fantastic place to cool off. For families, Muddy's is a must do with a large stretch of playground for the kids, and a café in the middle (delicious food, juices and coffee!) I would definitely recommend a hire car to get around easily.... but if this isn't an option - you can walk most places in the CBD, and get tours out to other tourist activities.

Cairns is more than worthy of a visit for both tourists & locals.. Car rental seems to be quite expensive compared to other places I have visited of late. In spite of the claim that there is a shortage of rental vehicles, all of the firms (in Sheridan Street) were fully stocked with vehicles. Bus lines (with multi trip tickets) certainly offer the best value when you compare a $10 Taxi ride to $1:20 for the same trip by a Cairns Bus.

Cairns is Mega expensive to do anything just two people can...
Cairns is Mega expensive to do anything just two people can spend upwards of $400 per day to do tours, My Wife and I went to Joesphine Falls, Babinda Boulders, that was great need to be relatively fit, flew over the reef 1hr and 20mins value for money caters just for 2 people personal flight, personal service. Great way to see the reef read my review product review,look up exclusiveairtours, We looked at reef snorkeling etc, but alot of the tour operators charge for extras some prices were $400per couple, Cairns Aquarium was great well worth the money fantastic close ups of the what the reef looks like uderwater, and the closeness of the sealife.

The hotel is centrally located and allows you to easily get to most of the main attractions in Cairns city. The rooms were very comfortable and Matt was excellent and responsive to our needs.

The Pacific Hotel Cairns is perfectly located in a very fun adventure city. The adventures and activities starting points are very close to the hotel. It is very easy to find things and get laundry done and talk to people. Note, this town has one of the best values on adventures you will find anywhere in the world.
