Things
to do in and around Cairns
16 Green
Island near Cairns
The only
thing wrong with this idea is that the time will pass far too quickly.
Green Island is an idyllic coral cay in paradise. Snorkel off the
beach over stunning coral reefs, ablaze with underwater colours
and teeming with myriads of coloured exotic reef fish. Explore the
island rainforest, walk around this tiny coral cay or simply relax
and take it all in.
29 (16) Tully River
Gorge, South of Cairns
Tully River Rafting
- Full Day ex Cairns
Whitewater
Tully
30 (15) Mossman Gorge
45 minutes out of Port
Douglas Mossman Gorge is a beautiful spot set in some of the prettiest
rainforest in Queensland. There is a wealth of wildlife in Mossman
Gorge and if you are lucky you may even see a Boyd's Rainforest
Dragon.
51 (12) Port Douglas
Where the luxury meets
the reef, Port Douglas can boast palm trees, manicured lawns, 'condominiums',
private golf courses, lavish tennis courts, top class restaurants
and fashionable arcades.
Much of the Port Douglas
appeal is the vast array of attractions nearby not too mention the
GBR (Great Barrier Reef)
86 (26) Smithfield Tower
Bungy - from Cairns
A bit of up and down…then
up….then down…then up…then down..then….
Bungy
Jumping Smithfield, Queensland
45 metre tower to plummet
44ms? Not sure how close you get to the ground but for me it's probably
about 44m too close. But you will probably fall for the whole experience
and then rise and then fall..
88 (90) Kuranda
Kuranda is a pleasant
little tourist village with the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary to
visit, restaurants and cafes to relax in the watch the world go
by and of course, those important souvenirs.
91 (98) Johnstone River Crocodile Farm
If you like Crocs Johnstone
River Crocodile Farm is probably a must.
