With the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics World Heritage Rainforest right next to each other, Tropical North Queensland is different from anywhere else in the world. While snorkeling on the reef, you can come across a huge amount of marine life. Chill out on islands surrounded by palm trees, take a dip under the flow of a rainforest waterfall, or take a walk through an ancient rainforest. Get in touch with ancient Indigenous cultures, unwind and recharge in rainforest cabins, take a leisurely walk along golden beaches, and have an outdoor meal under palm trees. Your dream tropical vacation is waiting for you in Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, a place where you'll really see great and leave greater.
