Cairns Travel Guide | The Sebel Cairns Hotel
Travel to Cairns! Tropical relaxed city bordered by rainforest mountain ranges on one side, and the Coral Sea on the other, Cairns is also the primary gateway to the Great Barrier Reef...
Travelling to Cairns is easy. Cairns International Airport is the primary international gateway into the region and is also served by many domestic flights. Cairns Station, right in the city centre, allows you to reach Cairns from Brisbane, by train. However, the trip lasts 32 hours! But it is definitively a great way to apprehend Queensland as a whole. Finally, you might as well drive along the coast from Brisbane, on a 1700km trip, at your own pace...
Once in Cairns, you can easily reach your preferred spot by foot, bus or car. The city centre is small enough to be effortlessly covered and there are loads to see and do. So, why not embark on a Cairns travel and enjoy these local highlights:
The Cairns Esplanade
Oceanfront promenade full of restaurants, outside cafes, shops... and even a saltwater swimming lagoon.
Cairns Tours
Cairns features an abundance of adventure activities, such as sky diving, bungee jumping, white water rafting and tours to the Great Barrier Reef.
The Great Barrier Reef is a must-see for anyone visiting Australia. It is the largest reef system in the world, at more than 2,000 kilometres long and home to more than 400 types of coral reef, fish and sea life. Take a tour by boat, plane, helicopter or underwater observatories. To get a closer look at life on the reef, you should definitively consider snorkelling and diving...
Port Douglas
Approximately one hour north of Cairns is the sophisticated yet laid-back town of Port Douglas. Discover the pristine 4 Mile Beach, many fine dining options and upscale boutique shops.
Kuranda
Kuranda is a vibrant little village hidden high in the rainforest, quite famous for its markets. Making your way to Kuranda can be even more fun than the actual visit! The two main options are:
Cape Tribulation
Cape Tribulation is the most northern settlement in Queensland. It is a beautiful, small village in the rainforest, where the rainforest literally meets the reef!
Daintree Rainforest
The largest rainforest in Australia and over 135 million years old, Daintree Rainforest also has the largest and most diverse range of plants and animals on earth. For visitors, it features hiking trails, camp sites, picnic tables, swimming holes and beaches. Guided tours are available, including river tours on the Daintree River.
