Flights to Cairns - The Gateway to Far North Queensland
Flying to Cairns is a very unique experience not to be missed.
Whether you are boarding your flight from another Australian centre like Sydney or traveling from abroad Cairns is a unique and interesting spot.
When you arrive at the Cairns International Airport you realize you are in a place very much unlike the rest of Australia and the world.
Surrounded by tropical mountains and foot hills, beautiful sandy beaches and tropical islands it drums to a different beat than the rest of the east coast of Australia.
The city of Cairns is a tourist hub and the gateway for the rest of the region.
In close proximity to Cairns is Port Douglas a beautiful little resort town on the beach and hang out of the rich and famous.
Cape Tribulation is half an hour further north and offers endless gold sandy beaches that are almost completely deserted.
Behind Port Douglas lies The Daintree National Park a large tropical rainforest that stretches from Port Douglas through to Cape Tribulation National Park.
This is where the wild Australia, clichéd by Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee comes to heart.
A popular day trip a boat ride along the Daintree River where you might just catch crocodile in the wild from the safety of the cruise boat of course.
There are a host of other cool activities to do in the region like 4wd tours, horse riding, kayaking, bush walks and jungle surfing.
While going on a wild tropical safrari might sound tempting such being in the Daintree Rainforest is an experience in itself.
The forest is world heritage listed and estimated to be 135 million years old making it the oldest in the world.
The rainforest is also renowned for being home to a large proportion of Australia's local marsupial, reptile and bird life which makes it a must visit for any animal lover.
To the South of Cairns is Mission Beach another popular coastal beach town and the Atherton Tablelands the regions agricultural strong hold and how to large Sugar Cane plantations.
The Tablelands blend wet tropical rainforests with the dry Australian outback in a unique blend of diversity in the regions landscape.
It is almost impossible not to enjoy relaxing along the beautiful mission beach sand and going so a swim on that idealistic golden beach that most people only get to dream about.
The Great Barrier Reef is almost inevitably the most popular tourist destination and the Cairns Marine is lined with Cruise Boats, Dive Boats and Luxury Yachts ready to embark on the short trip to the reef.
The reef is a magnificent structure so large it can be seen from space and is the largest single structure in the world comprised of living organisms.
Cairns itself is a peaceful beachside town by day and a tourist party spot by night.
It's a common to see hundreds of tourists relaxing by the lagoon along the esplanade or walking along the beach and marina.
Cairns has a very relaxed and open feel about it and people there like having fun and don't take themselves too seriously.
