What Guests Said About Cairns:
-
People are friendly and helpful.
People are friendly and helpful. This way is easy to get around. We were recovering from a birdwatching tour and did not see much of Cairns or their tourist attraction other then the shopping mall. We took a bus to Palm's Cove and that was convenient as the accommodation was located nearby. The buses go every 30 minutes. We had a fantastic meal at Dandee's Restaurant near the water where the tourist boat leave.

Cairns is designed for people to be outdoors and also enjoying life. Everything is walking distance within the town. It was beautiful. Lots of night life and food. Very central to surrounding areas. We used it as a base for tours and travelling around to different areas. You need to hire a car though to get to other beaches or plan on using the bus service.

We used Ubers to get around.
We used Ubers to get around. The Jamstop just across the road gave superb breakfasts and I must add, every meal we had in Cairns was the best! The best advice is - book! If you just wander in and hope to get a table for two, it's a good chance you'll miss out. Our Spirit of Cairns buffet cruise was awesome. The only negative was that it was at night. I would have preferred a day trip with lunch so we could see some of Cairns and the small islands.

Eating out was easier than Port Douglas so if you can base at Cairns do so. Some rip- offs like night market food - greasy, Asian no choice. The Seafood joint selling liquor the best. The info centre on Lake street near the Thrifty was great - Nigel v helpful, other ‘ info centres!’ Useless staffed by people who hang up on you.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cairns and are looking forward to returning. Could have stayed a few more nights. We hired a car for our stay and drove to Port Douglas and Mossman Gorge which were beautiful. Definitely a must. The drive along the coastline was breathtaking. Another must is the Karunda Railway Day Trip which was a great experience. Kim who runs the River Cruise in Karunda is worthwhile, as she has a great sense of humour and plenty of knowledge. Had a great breakfast at Muddy's on the Esplanade - fabulous views and an enjoyable walk along the Esplanade. Had a couple of very good Italian meals at Bellocale, and good steaks at Dunwoody's Hotel (which was close to our accommodation).

Cairns is a beautiful tropical town that has everything you could need for a short or long stay. There is plenty to do for everyone including shopping options, plenty of cafes and restaurants, reef activities and tonnes of swimming and leisure activities. Cairns have two seasons which are dry and then humid and wet. Avoid the end of the year as this is the most humid time to visit Cairns. This is also the time Cairns can experience cyclones. winter months so March to September are best. There is plenty of public transport that is frequent. The bus company is called Sunbus.
