Tours are great paranella park and kuranda are the 2 I recommend. There is plenty to do around cairns city. Muddies playground was just 5 minutes walk to the esplanade from where we stayed its more for younger children and there is a cafe next to it where you can order extra hot coffee. And the lagoon is great for those who love the water.Guest review byKim - 10.0

Cairns is one of the best Cities to go to as it has the best of both worlds. As you the amazing Reef to discover and then you have the hinterland as well. Lots of places to eat and a wide variety of cuisines.Guest review byKarenAustralia - 10.0

Much to do City re many tours and sights, reef or islands by boat or helicopter; dinner boat cruise, many day trips to Atherton tablelands or train ride to Kuranda and Skyrail Cable Car. New Tomb of Pharoahs exhibition specific to Cairns, various Museums and many restaurants and cafes with a wide variety of cuisines. Good inexpensive bus network and a central railway station. Ferris wheel and lagoon centrally located in park lands. Helipad near Marina for easy access to the reefs and beyond. Airport only 15 minutes by car. Locals are friendly. A safe and interesting city to visit.Guest review byFrankAustralia - 10.0
Love the Cairns Esplanade with wonderful vibe.
Love the Cairns Esplanade with wonderful vibe. We travelled to Fitzroy Island for colourful coral and tropical fish. Mareeba Innisfail and Atherton Tablelands for lovely towns and countryside with waterfalls and rainforest were a highlight. We saw platypus and flying foxes and other fauna. A trip driving along the scenic Captain Cook Highway to the markets by the sea at Port Douglas we would recommend. Beautiful country pubs for a midday meal.Guest review byTonyAustralia

- From $121.08 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very Good - What previous guests thought, 3,094 reviewsCQH & apartments has become my go-to spot when staying in Cairns. Easy check-in, super clean rooms maintained by a great housekeeping team, there is a lot to like about this operation. The onsite restaurant, Finns, offers up superb Thai food and the secured on-site parking is a real bonus given the hotel's close proximity to the Esplanade.Guest review byShaneAustralia
- From $121.08 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.4Good - What previous guests thought, 1,373 reviewsSimple hotel but with a nice vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant, which is part of the hotel, is very good and definitely worth a visit. Not a negative, but in case important to people, the location is about a 20-minute walk from the Esplanade and the more buzzy areas of Cairns.Guest review byNualaUnited Kingdom
