7 days in Cairns Itinerary

A neat, cosmopolitan city of shaded plazas and laid-back neighborhoods, Cairns serves as a popular base for exploration of the surrounding region and the Great Barrier Reef, as well as a center for watersport activities like surfing or waterskiing.

Explore Cairns' surroundings by going to Palm Cove Beach (in Palm Cove), Port Douglas (Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas, The Deep Retreat & Deep Yoga Studio, &more) and Hartley's Crocodile Adventures (in Wangetti). Spend the 28th (Thu) among aquatic life with a scuba or snorkeling tour. And it doesn't end there: hike along Esplanade Boardwalk, let little ones run wild at Muddy's Playground, take a memorable tour with Trail Bike Adventures, and explore the world behind art at Samurai Gallery Australia.

To find maps, where to stay, and tourist information, refer to the Cairns vacation site.

In July, plan for daily highs up to 30°C, and evening lows to 20°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 2nd (Tue) so you can travel back home.
