Adventure

Over 300 days of sunshine, plenty of s-p-a-c-e, friendly locals, and the World Heritage-listed Daintree rainforest and Great Barrier Reef side by side, it’s easy to see why Mother Nature chose Cairns and Great Barrier Reef to be the international hub of adventure holidays and home of nature’s theme park.

Choose your own adventure in Cairns and Great Barrier Reef

You too can be one of the hundreds of keen, fun-seeking travellers who flock to her theme park each year and swim, snorkel and dive on the Great Barrier Reef among thousands of colourful fish and coral just off the coast of Cairns and Port Douglas. Swing like Tarzan through the oldest rainforests on earth in the Daintree or ping pong down fierce, globally renowned, white water rapids on the Tully River, near Mission Beach. Eco-certified accommodation and tour providers, who often generate their own electricity, water, temperature control and organic produce, operate throughout Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef region so you can comfortably get back-to-basics and enjoy a truly unique, sustainable, eco-adventure.

Or maybe you’d prefer to see a spectacular fire show before you float over the Tropical Atherton Tablelands in a hot air balloon and then touch-down for breakfast with a lion, a cuppa with a cassowary or lunch with a crocodile? Choose your own adventure in Cairns and Great Barrier Reef!
