Cairns Flight Guide

Cairns is located in the northwest of Australia and is home to just under 136,000 inhabitants. Due to its convenient location and numerous attractions, it is not only a destination for Australians but for tourists all over the world. It is Australia’s most tropical resort and will enchant its visitors with its astonishing wildlife, seaside and parks.

The Great Barrier Reef can be reached in about an hour by speedboat and is guaranteed to be one of the most breathtaking and overwhelming experiences one can have. Dive along the crystal clear waters and explore the stunning wildlife - it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime excursion! Water sport fans will also be able to swim in the exotic lagoons of the Cairns Esplanade, while enjoying fresh seaside air. From Cairns, tourists can also reach Daintree, Fitzroy-Island and Green Island as well as the Undersea World. Also worth a visit is the nearby Paronella Park in Mena Creek with its fairytale atmosphere and beautiful nature.

There are various good hotels to choose from, one of them being the "Pacific International Cairns” which is located right by the waterfront. From there guests will have great sea views and are only moments away from the harbour from where the speedboats leave. A few kilometres outside of Cairns is a place called Palm Cove which is an ideal summer-beach-holiday resort. Visitors should check out the hotel ‘Grand Mercure Rockford Esplanade Palm Cove’ if they are planning on staying there. Cairns airport can be reached from virtually any Australian airport and many airlines offer good prices online.
