As the weather cools down, it seems like almost everyone is planning their winter escape. Fortunately, you don’t have to head over the equator to sun soak your skin once more – you just have to go to Far North Queensland.
With two UNESCO World Heritage sites at its doorstep, it’s easy to see why Cairns has long been a favourite destination for nature lovers. But the natural wonders are far from the only thing to visit at this tropical destination. You’ll be surprised at how much Cairns has transformed over the past few years. From trendy bars and restaurants to new attractions and tours, there are countless ways to make the most of your getaway.
EXPLORE
A trip to Cairns wouldn’t be complete without exploring the world’s largest coral reef ecosystem. Passions of Paradise (passions.com.au) is a family-owned business dedicated to helping people get up close and personal with the Great Barrier Reef’s corals and sea life. The full-day tours offer snorkellers and scuba divers of all experience levels the chance to discover two of its 26 private outer reef sites. The friendly crew are on hand to take people through their first diving adventure or guide scuba divers around the breathtaking sights of colourful corals of every shape and size.
