Reef trips
Day boats to the Great Barrier Reef leave from the marina and nearby terminal area, a short walk from Wharf Street. Operators set their own check-in times, so read your booking carefully.
The Esplanade
A long waterfront promenade with a public saltwater lagoon, shade and cafes. Cairns has no swimming beach in the city, so this is where locals and visitors cool off.
Cairns Airport
The airport is a short drive from the city centre. Taxis and ride-share are the usual choices. Allow extra time at peak hours.
Kuranda and the Daintree
Day tours to the rainforest set off from the city and often offer hotel pick-ups. Confirm the pick-up point when you book.
Weather
The tropics have a wetter season and a drier season. Pack light clothes, sun protection and a rain layer, whatever the month.
