Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, two of Australia's most iconic natural wonders. The tropical city offers a laid-back vibe, an esplanade lagoon, and easy access to snorkelling, diving, and rainforest adventures. Last-minute stays range from tropical apartments to resort-style properties.
