Tours and Transfers in Cairns
Cairns is a beautiful city with gorgeous attractions to enjoy with friends, family, or just by yourself. The wide variety of activities in Cairns keep everyone excited, from the children to the grandparents and from the chickens to the adrenaline junkies. One of the most popular tourist attractions is the Great Barrier Reef. With its wide mélange of stunningly perfectly-shaped flora and friendly fauna, the Great Barrier Reef attracts two million people each year, displaying its lively fish, colourful coral, playful dolphins, soulful turtles, ancient clams and much more! Ocean Spirit, a high performance catamaran, sails daily from Cairns to Michaelmas Cay, a small sand cay, home to a wide assortment of both birds and marine life. With options to dive, snorkel and meet the animals up close, revel in the sweeping view of the reef from a helicopter, enjoy a guided tour in a glass-bottomed boat or to simply lie on the deck and soak up the sun, there’s lots of fun for everyone at the Great Barrier Reef. Complete with the Heart Reef, a composition of coral naturally shaped into a heart, the reef is a perfect romantic surprise for friends or a special one.
Babinda Boulders is an attractive swimming hole enveloped in luscious rainforest, lined with massive boulders and filled with crystal clear water and a few animals, perfectly showing the smooth rocks underneath. A perfect spot to swim or simply bask in the sun, it’s the perfect way to spend time with family and friends and make great memories. The place is perfect for a lunch or a picnic and is suitable for both the adventure-seekers and the calm ones who prefer to sit down and relax. Watch out for the current though, it can be a little strong sometimes.
The waters of Babinda Boulders spill over into Devil’s Pool, another area with stunning water and massive boulders. Here, swimming is restricted because of the multiple deaths that have occurred here, but there is a 9 metre cliff jump location. Jumping is not recommended without being shown by the locals. The river forces there can be extremely unpredictable and you are strongly advised not to jump.
Josephine Falls is another amazing area for a swim, hike or overnight stay. With facilities for a barbecue or a picnic with family and friends, Josephine Falls is the perfect place to go to make fond memories. With options from a 1.2km to the top waterfalls, a 10km hike to Broken Nose or 15 (one way) km walk up to the Atherton Tablelands, Josephine Falls is the perfect place to stroll with others. Josephine Falls is home to beautiful butterflies flitting from exotic flowers, with tropical birds joyfully singing to each other, a gorgeous place to spend the day at.
