Cairns Family tours

Cairns is an excellent destination for families to experience the natural treasures of North Queensland.

Let’s start with the historical, scenic railway as it winds its way through tunnels and over bridges past magnificent Barron Falls.

Great Barrier Reef is always the best when sharing it through the eyes of a child.   How can anyone prepare for how vibrant the colours are on Australia’s National Treasure.

Daintree Rainforest will you start with spotting crocodiles along the Daintree River or by breathing in the air of the World’s oldest tropical rainforest.

Rainforestation is a treat for everyone in the family with so much going on in one great location. Visit the animals in the Wildlife Park and who want to cuddle a koala or pet some kangaroos.   Next, learn how to fly a boomerang and sit back and watch the Pamagirri Dancers as you discover about real Australian history. And after all of that what about a ride on an army duck.

Have you met a Ulysses Butterfly? Well, the best place to get introduced to one of these brightly coloured beauties is at the Butterfly Sanctuary in Kuranda.

There is even more fun to have in and around Cairns so make sure that you see our great options.
