Here are the Top 10 Best Things to do from Cairns!

1. Walk on Cape Tribulation: This can be done via tour or you can rent a car and drive yourself (winding roads though). Make sure that you do NOT swim in the water during the summer months due to deadly box jellyfish, check online to see when it is safe to swim.

2. The curtain fig tree is a beautiful stop along the road and only about a two minute walk to get there from parking. For more information on how to get there and where it is located visit the link: [ Ссылка ]

3. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef is a well known must do in Cairns! There are many different companies that will take you out to the reef, but after plenty of research we decided on Reef Experience because they included everything, including an introductory scuba dive (most companies charge big $$ for that) and a delicious lunch! They also go to two different reef locations which gives you an opportunity to see different types of corals and fishes! Check out their website for more information! [ Ссылка ]

4. Paronella Park is a beautiful place but just watch out for the mosquitoes!! There is a inspiring and sad story about a dream then a tragedy of this place, if you want to find out more check out the website. [ Ссылка ]

5. The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest living rainforest in the WORLD! Again watch out for those mosquitoes! There is lots of unique wildlife there! We were able to see a rare insect, a large spider, green ants, a dragon, and lots of flora and fauna. We did miss out on seeing a causeway though. [ Ссылка ]

6. Scuba diving for the first time in the Great Barrier Reef was a mesmerizing experience! For more experienced scuba divers you may want to consider a scuba diving specialty boat (although snorkeling was amazing as well), but for those first time divers a great way to see the reef is through an introductory dive! Reef Experience made us both feel comfortable and didn’t pressure us to do anything. Highly recommend! [ Ссылка ]

7. Millaa Millaa falls was extra strong while we were there due to the large rainfalls. You can swim at the falls but be aware of the the murky water at times and the strength of the waterfall. For information on Millaa Millaa and other falls check here: [ Ссылка ]

8. Swim in a fresh clear creek! Apparently these are everywhere, all you have to do is venture one road away from the main highway (not sure which highway, but we were driving to the fig tree and Paronella Park that day)! These may not be easy to find but it is well worth the adventure if you do, thankfully our tour guide showed us the way!

9. Take a cruise along the Daintree River! We were able to see lots of crocodiles, including a very large one, a mama one (the one in the video), and lots of babies! There was also fish and many unique plants! [ Ссылка ]

10. Watch the bats come out at dusk and fly over the city! This was such a crazy experience to see the sunset and watch as a clear sky was filled with thousands of bats flying overhead. They are only in certain locations in Cairns, but if you are in the CBD you will likely see them!
