Discover where Rainforest meets Reef!

Fly to Cairns with Airnorth today.

Cairns is where two of nature’s most remarkable landscapes meet – the Great Barrier Reef and the ancient rainforests of Tropical North Queensland. This coastal city offers a balance of adventure and relaxation, making it a great destination for those looking to explore or unwind. Fly into Cairns from Alice Springs or Perth three days a week, or fly in daily from Darwin or Gove. 

Explore the Great Barrier Reef

A visit to Cairns isn’t complete without experiencing the Great Barrier Reef. Take a day trip with Quicksilver Cruises or Down Under Cruise & Dive for snorkelling or scuba diving among coral reefs and marine life. For a more relaxed experience, Reef Magic’s pontoon offers glass-bottom boat tours and an underwater observatory, allowing you to enjoy the reef without getting in the water.
Discover the Daintree Rainforest

Just north of Cairns, the Daintree Rainforest is one of the oldest in the world. A guided tour with Mossman Gorge Centre offers insight into Indigenous culture and the region’s biodiversity. Further north, Cape Tribulation is where the rainforest meets the ocean, creating a stunning contrast between lush greenery and coastal views.
Take in the Views from Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Railway

For a different perspective, ride the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway over the rainforest canopy, stopping at Barron Falls for sweeping views. Pair this with the Kuranda Scenic Railway, a historic train journey winding through tunnels and mountains. In Kuranda, explore local markets, wildlife parks, and cafés serving locally grown coffee.
Relax at Palm Cove and Fitzroy Island.

For a slower pace, visit Palm Cove, a beachfront village with resorts, spas, and waterfront dining. A short ferry ride from Cairns, Fitzroy Island offers hiking trails, snorkelling, and the chance to relax on Nudey Beach’s white sands.

Whether you’re exploring the reef, the rainforest, or simply enjoying the coastal scenery, there’s something for everyone.
