Real backpacker town with lots of culture as well as history. The people there were very nice and were always up for a yarn. The local attractions were splendid and the surround mountains made for an incredible backdrop.

Cairns is a beautiful city with friendly locals.
Cairns is a beautiful city with friendly locals. My wife and I left very comfortable during our stay. The city has a vibrant lifestyle with gorgeous beaches close by and some beautiful food outlets within a short walking distance. Dundee on the Waterfront is highly recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Cairns.

Great base for coral reef and trips up north with a car.
Cairns is a nice compact size with lots of quality eating options and esplanade feature with a safe easy going feel, but limited other entertainment things to do. Shopping centre but quite basic shops.
People were friendly, easy car parking but limited transport facilities other than taxes.

Cairns has beautiful tours and places to visit but quite expensive, I only booked things a day in advance so all the good deals were taken. I caught the Fitzroy flyer to fitzroy island. Which I think is best if you really want to explore Fitzroy in a day, this has the longest onsite time. GBR tours I did Dreamtime Snorkel, hard to hear some of the information over the sound of the boat and other chatter. Food was delicious and the sites were amazing, though luck of the draw if you’ll see anything truly spectacular on the snorkel safari. Rusty’s supermarket is well worth going for their tropical fruits, they’re open fri-Sunday mornings, fresh and exotic fruits, mmmmm…. Arts centres were free, I went to two in town and one at Tank 4 very interesting pieces. There’s still a lot more that I want to do. But I’m leaving that for next time. FYI no croc encounters (thank god) but I did spot, 2 reef sharks, tree snake, a lot of lizards, a goana, stingrays and large spiders on the island and around cairns. Keep it spicy!

Cairns is too loaded towards expensive experiences.
Cairns is too loaded towards expensive experiences.
There is a lack of catering to the public access especially to trinity bay waterfront areas which are taken up by marinas and port infrastructure. Access for shore fishing experiences are ridiculously restricted to a couple of locations causing locals and those not wanting to shell out a fortune to wander about aimlessly. Cairns Council should be providing a lot more access to Trinity Estuary for recreational fishing by the general public from the shore or by providing a lot more wharf opportunities!
The cheap buses are a plus however it’s too hard to get to the sky rail, artillery museum etc as no bus on weekends and scant services during the week.

Amazing tropical Cairns, we loved it. stayed for 6 days, it was not enough. Lots of views, waterfalls where you can swim too. Amazing trails, dense lush green rain forest and surrounded by few islands to visit. Visit Kuranda, Atherton tablelands area, disappointed with Reef even though we went to outer reef, we could not see those colors as it was washed away. Fitzroy Island was great. Botanic granden is a must do. We found some good local shops at Kuranda, so did shopping there, good choices.

Fantastic apartment, loved our stay and perfect for all the family. Children loved the pool facilities and great outdoor area for us all.Staff were very accommodating and helped out lending us strollers for our stay. Location was probably the best in Cairns- beautiful views of the waterfront and esplanade and close to muddys playground and restaurants, shops and night markets. Just had the best holiday 😀Can’t wait to book again
Great hotel with comfortable beds and modern look of the rooms.
It’s just a bit far from esplanade, but apart from that it’s perfect.
Also, there are lot of car rental companies around this hotel. So you can just rent and explore Cairns
Beautiful hotel in the best location in Cairns. It opens out back onto the Esplanade with restaurants up and down the street. It is walking distance to the marina and right opposite the public lagoon and Ferris wheel.
