Tour overview

Take a couple of days exploring Cairns and Kuranda Village before starting your roadtrip. Take the coastal route to your first stop, Port Douglas where you can experience sunset sailing, a scenic helicopter flight or join an incredibly special Aboriginal Dreamtime dining experience. Further north you will be fully immersed in the meeting place of two World Heritage locations, visiting the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef at Cape Tribulation. Raft out to the reef and snorkel until your heart's content, before venturing inland to explore the wilderness and spectacular views of the Atherton Tablelands with plenty of time to sit back and relax before your return to Cairns. Tropical North Queensland is the perfect place to visit in the winter months due to its warm daytime temperatures and balmy evenings.

Trip itinerary

Arrive into Cairns

Welcome to Cairns, a city rich in history and natural wonders. For more than 40,000 years, this tropical paradise has been home to Indigenous Australians, with its cultural heritage still evident today. Settled by Europeans in 1876 during the gold rush, Cairns has since evolved into a thriving destination famously known as "where the rainforest meets the reef." As the gateway to the ancient Wet Tropics World Heritage Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns offers unparalleled access to two of nature’s greatest treasures. Explore the vibrant Esplanade, where you’ll find a stunning swimming lagoon, lively weekend markets, and a variety of dining options to suit every taste. Cairns is ready to welcome you to its unforgettable tropical charm.
