We loved Cairns, we also loved day trips to nearby places...
We loved Cairns, we also loved day trips to nearby places such as Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine. Atherton, Mossman Gorge, Palm Cove, Port Douglas, Daintree are all worth the trip to see. So much natural beauty. We had our own hire car, which is our preference rather than going on guided tours. The bad parts were there were some areas in the Cairns main cbd which should probably be avoided due to there being a lot of homeless people. We also took the Skyrail and Kuranda train which was very expensive (we paid $445.00 for 2 adults & 1 child) and we were quite disappointed to find that on the day we went (a Wednesday) there were hardly any places open and the markets were closed. We drove back another day, and still found it quite disappointing and not at all as good as we remember it from our previous trip 17 years ago. This is a shame, and probably is due to COVID19. So I feel sorry for anyone who's business has closed because of this.

I like Cairns Central, because it has movies, food shopping etc. There are plenty of activities to do if you check on the brochures and the views from the hotels are great. Restaurants are everywhere and the Cairns market is huge.

There's a lot to see and do in an around Cairns.
There's a lot to see and do in an around Cairns. You could easily spend a week there and still not see/visit all the tours, sites and places that you should visit if you decide to go to Cairns. For example, we spent a few hours on Fitzroy Island, which is great for anyone who wants to only do a short cruise to experience a tropical island, do reefy things like snorkel, or lie a beautiful beaches. We also did a day trip to Cape Tribulation which also included a side trip to Mossman Gorge. Other easily accessible day tours to Kuranda (very scenic rail & chair lift either way), and further up into the tableland sites for a day trip or overnight.

Rainforestation trip and skyrail were great!
Rainforestation trip and skyrail were great!! Lunch was included in our tour and it was delicious. We visited Hartley's croc farm and took a road trip up to Mossman Gorge. These attractions were close enough so it wasn't too much of a massive day. Reef magic cruises took us out to the reef which was a lovely day, lunch was a couple of cold salads, hot dishes and rice and fruit salad. Drinks, icecream and snack foods were extra.

Cairns is a great location for this time of year (winter).
Cairns is a great location for this time of year (winter). We had the unusual experience of rain on the first day, but the weather gradually improved and the last day was a lovely day, as is usual for Cairns in June. The esplanade area has been extensively re-modelled since our last visit many years ago and is now a lovely area for all ages. There is a child-friendly lagoon....then further along the esplanade is a really well thought-out children's play area. Of course, there are lots of eating places. Cairns is well placed for visits to the Daintree and to Kuranda via the Skyrail and/or Scenic Railway. On our last visit we rented a car and drove up to the Atherton Tablelands - another really interesting area. Those more active than us would enjoy the scuba diving and other water-based activities. Finally, the public transport system is regular and inexpensive.

The waterfront was beautiful, especially for families but dont expect to swim in the ocean due to the mudflats. Its a great spot if you're into exploring the ocean etc. Kuranda is a fab day trip on the skyrail/gondolas. I suggest to do your research and talk to the locals for what's happening. Cock'n bull was a great pub, good vibe and big feed and we also went to the local RSL a couple of times, staff were great.

Waters Edge Apartment Cairns
Cairns
From $300 per nightSuperlative property. Book with your eyes closed. I could live here on an everyday basis..like really. Beautiful apartment, kickass view, lovely neighbourhood where you can just walk along the promenade and have coffee at Muddy's and shop at the night market and swim in the pool and cook in the lovely kitchen. There were 7 of us (three generations) and we enjoyed our stay beyond measure! The owners Tania and Craig are very helpful, They helped us book the Reef and Kuranda tours.

From $250 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.
