Cairns and Great Barrier Reef Tours
This Cairns tours page also includes tours departing from Port Douglas. Cairns is well known for its Great Barrier Reef tours, but there are many rainforest tours and 4WD safari tours in Cairns as well. Make the time to do a tour from Cairns to Cooktown or Cape York. A trip to Cairns should include tours of the Great Barrier Reef, the Kuranda train and skyrail, the Daintree Rainforest and the Atherton Tablelands.
You should try and allow at least 5 days in Cairns but there are plenty of ways to do the best tours of Cairns in a shorter amount of time. The majority of day tours depart from Cairns making it an ideal base to explore the best that Tropical North Queensland has to offer.
