The drive up north to Cape Tribulation from Cairns (stopping at several locations like Port Douglas and Cairns northern beaches) is a must. Beautiful rainforest canopy over the road at several locations and views of the Coral Sea alongside the road are amazing. I also recommend a day trip to Fitzroy island; take the 45 minutes track to Nudey Beach and be rewarded with a magnificent coral beach where you can actually walk through reefs and see beautiful fish, not to mention having a swim in the clear turquoise waters. Another nice drive from Cairns is to the Atherton tablelands, including the waterfall circuit; Milla Mills falls are truly beautiful!

Lots of really lovely cafes and restaurants, follow the Google reviews! Guyala's eggs benedict with lemon myrtle hollandaise was glorious. Everyone must see the Cairns Aquarium and defs spring the extra money for a guided tour to see the inner workings of an aquarium and the turtle hospital! The casino is small, but busy enough in the evenings with cheap table games for any beginner to have a try. Local produce available from "The Humpy" is entirely worth the visit: Davidson plums, finger limes and soursop to name just a a few local fruits you can buy and enjoy. Kuranda appears to have suffered a loss of many shops due to covid, but the trip up on the Skyrail is still lovely. Some excellent local art stores to buy from. Butterfly Sanctuary was pretty- can tackle it in about an hour, butterflies prefer warmth so they don't really get flying until later in the day. Likewise, Bird World is quite small and can be done in an hour, arrive early if you want to purchase bird food. The birds aren't into being pet much but they'll happily stand on you if you offer seeds or nuts.

one of many visits and there has been considerable money spent to improve amenities. I believe that Covid has definitely affected the businesses and people are not spending the money they normally would. Although its a lovely place, there is a mood about the place which is noticeable.

Very easy to drive around, plenty of restaurant's to choose from. Great choices for shopping and people are very friendly. Watch our for paid parking areas as there is less and less free parking in the city. Lots of parks for kids to play in and the Esplanade is awesome, plenty of shade.

Cairns is a great holiday spot for couples, families and singles - there’s something for everyone! The city has heaps of accommodation at a variety of price points and the same can be said about eating venues - restaurants, cafes, pubs and fast food. There are good boutiques and markets as well as an indoor shopping mall. There’s such a range of activities in the area both on land and at sea that you can be as busy or relaxed as you want. Most of these are accessible by foot (at least the wharves and pickup points for land trips) and you can get away with not having a car. If you do have a car then there are day trips to Port Douglas, the Daintree, the tablelands and Palm Cove that you can easily do on your own. Winter in FNQ is a wonderful time to visit!
