About Cairns

Welcome to Cairns!

Cairns is the heart of the Tropical North and is an excellent base for exploring this region. The most popular time of year to visit Cairns is between June and October.

Cairns Accommodation

Cairns City has a wide variety of accommodation from international hotels to holiday apartments, family resorts and budget backpacker hostels all at very competitive prices. We list a variety of accommodation to suit all budgets and requirements.

The Cairns City Esplanade is a scenic promenade that stretches for 2.5km and includes a swimming lagoon, waterfront boardwalks, BBQ areas and a children’s water park.

The southern end of the Cairns Esplanade is the central hub where you will find the swimming lagoon, Reef Fleet Terminal, marina, The Pier complex and over 100 restaurants to choose from. It is a relatively small CBD bounded by Cairns Central Shopping Centre to the west, Cairns Airport to the north and Cairns City Council buildings to the south.

The northern end of the Cairns Esplanade is very peaceful and scenic, away from the hustle and bustle, but still within easy walking distance to all the entertainment.

Choosing a central accommodation location in Cairns City is ideal to easily access the Reef Fleet Terminal where many Great Barrier Reef day trips depart from.

If you prefer a beach holiday then the most popular northern beaches - Trinity Beach and Palm Cove are situated just 20 minutes by car north of Cairns City.

The beauty of our office being based in Cairns is that it allows us to visit and experience each and every property first hand. We select and recommend only the best Cairns accommodation options based on value, location, service and quality.

Cairns Tours

Cairns has over 600 tours departing daily, giving you the biggest and most accessible range of day and overnight trips available. The opportunities are endless whether you are a single, couple or family, after adventure, scenic or cultural tours there is something for everyone.

The main destinations of interest when visiting Far North Queensland are the Great Barrier Reef, Kuranda Village, Daintree Rainforest and the Tablelands.

Cairns is the main departure point to the Great Barrier Reef with trips departing daily all year round catering to all levels of experience, whether you are a beginner snorkeler, advanced diver or do not swim at all we can find you the right reef cruise for your ultimate Great Barrier Reef adventure.

Kuranda trips are very flexible and we can tailor your day to include either the basic Kuranda Train & Skyrail experience to the Ultimate Experience incorporating many attractions within the village.

The Daintree Rainforest is a must see! No where else in the world can you experience two natural wonders side by side - where World Heritage Listed reef and rainforest actually meet. There are plenty of day trips and activities to choose from including Aboriginal-guided rainforest walks with the local Kuku Yalanji people, river wildlife cruises, guided bird spotting, exploring secluded beaches and 4WD safaris.

A scenic one hour drive west from Cairns is the Atherton Tablelands also known as the Cairns Highlands. Among the rolling hills dairy cattle and deer graze on green pastures and farms grow tea, coffee, nuts, corn, vegetables and flowers for local and export markets. Everything thrives on this cool tropical plateau where temperatures and humidity are generally lower, providing an ideal break away from the heat of the coast.

“In the past I have been apprehensive about package tours but Travstar.com have changed my opinion on this. The staff were attentive and pleasant to deal with. Everything with the package was excellent and well organised. The booking was easy and the follow-up with e-mails first class and also provided great information as to what to expect, what you need to do. The whole experience was delightful and problem free. Thanks Travstar.com."  Clark Booth, Australia
