Here we’ve put together our selection of top attractions in Cairns and we guarantee you’ll be inspired to pay these locations a visit and get involved with the activities too. So take a look and tell us what you think and let us know what places we’ve missed out from the list.

Chillagoe

A once thriving mining town that only can boast a small zinc mine and a handful of marble quarries, Chillagoe may seem a place to overlook. However, the Mungana Karst Caves National Park is definitely a a destination to pay a visit. You get a taste of the outback but in the Tropical North of Queensland. You can take a tour of the 600 and 1,000 caves in the area (try not to get lost) or discover the Aboriginal art. Find out what else you can find in Chillagoe here.

Canopy Tour

With Jungle Surfing you can experience the rainforest in a very different way! As amazing as it is to take walking tours through the trees, why would you give up the opportunity to take an adrenaline ride from the top? The tours take two hours and we advise you to dress appropriately with hiking boots and possibly some long shorts or trousers just so you don’t get scratched by the branches as you whiz by. The Jungle Surfing company also provide walking night tours if you want more from the forest.

The Great Barrier Reef

Yep! Why didn’t we have it as the first on the list you may ask, because we’re cool like that. Did you know the Great Barrier Reef is the only living organism you can see from space? That’s right, and when you’re scuba diving or snorkelling around its precious ecosystem give a little wave to the guys on the space station. Take a tour of the magnificent waters and dive in to experience the marine life with Quick Silver Cruises. Find out the prices of their packages by visiting www.quicksilver-cruises.com
