Cairns is busy and has a lot going on.
Cairns is busy and has a lot going on. It possibly suits younger people more. If you’re after reef trips or island trips it’s perfect. If you want a less action packed pace you should probably head to Port Douglas.Guest review byLindaUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Tours are great paranella park and kuranda are the 2 I recommend. There is plenty to do around cairns city. Muddies playground was just 5 minutes walk to the esplanade from where we stayed its more for younger children and there is a cafe next to it where you can order extra hot coffee. And the lagoon is great for those who love the water.Guest review byKim - 10.0

Cairns is one of the best Cities to go to as it has the best of both worlds. As you the amazing Reef to discover and then you have the hinterland as well. Lots of places to eat and a wide variety of cuisines.Guest review byKarenAustralia - 10.0

August is great in Cairns with plenty of festivals happening. Great weather too. We have had mini staycations in Cairns as we only live an hour away and it the past month we have had Italian,Filipino,Japanese,Indonesian festivals with an Indian festival next week and the Cairns Festival next month. Plenty of activities and food options.Guest review byNormanAustralia - 10.0

Much to do City re many tours and sights, reef or islands by boat or helicopter; dinner boat cruise, many day trips to Atherton tablelands or train ride to Kuranda and Skyrail Cable Car. New Tomb of Pharoahs exhibition specific to Cairns, various Museums and many restaurants and cafes with a wide variety of cuisines. Good inexpensive bus network and a central railway station. Ferris wheel and lagoon centrally located in park lands. Helipad near Marina for easy access to the reefs and beyond. Airport only 15 minutes by car. Locals are friendly. A safe and interesting city to visit.Guest review byFrankAustralia

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 801 reviewsI just stayed at Vision Apartments in Cairns and had a great experience. The location is perfect — right on the Esplanade, so it’s only a short walk to restaurants, the lagoon, and the marina. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and really well-equipped with everything we needed for our family. The kitchen and laundry facilities were especially handy when traveling with a little one. The staff were friendly and helpful through out our stay. Highly recommend Vision Apartments for anyone visiting Cairns, totally worth it!Guest review byCHUAustralia
- From £136.32 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.8Good - What previous guests thought, 1,910 reviewsRooms were great, very comfortable, very clean, and the staff were brilliant. Great services were all round, and Esplanade views were unreal. What was great about this place is that it is right near everything in the city. It's only a couple of minutes' walk to restaurants and shops. While I was working, my family enjoyed their stay. Big thank you to Double Tree by the Hilton cairns for taking care of us. We look forward to coming again.Guest review byMariaAustralia
