When you think Cairns, Australia is just all about the Great Barrier Reef...
When you visit Cairns, you could simply check the Great Barrier Reef off your bucket list.
But if you're going all the way to Australia, why stop there?
When we visited Cairns, we had the following three amazing experiences.
🐠 SNORKEL THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
This is one of those experiences that is hard to put into words.
Being out on the water and then slipping beneath the surface to see the reef, colorful fish and marine life in their natural environment is something you don't forget.
🌿 RIDE SKYRAIL OVER THE RAINFOREST
Then there's a completely different side of Cairns.
The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway takes you above the ancient tropical rainforest, listening to the wildlife, giving you a perspective you simply can't get from the ground.
And just when you think the views couldn't get any better…
🚂 TAKE THE KURANDA SCENIC RAILWAY
Climb aboard the historic railway and wind your way through the rainforest and mountains toward Kuranda.
Waterfalls. Deep ravines. Dense rainforest. Spectacular scenery.
And the best part?
The journey is the experience.
Three adventures. Three completely different perspectives of this incredible corner of Australia.
🐠 Under the water.
🌿 Above the rainforest.
🚂 Through the mountains.
So yes… go see the Great Barrier Reef.
But don't just visit Cairns.
Experience it.
We were amazed at just how vast both the rainforest and the reef truly were! We knew they were incredible, but then we experienced them. Now the fruit bats...these aren't little bats quietly flying overhead, they're huge and the number of them is unbelievable! The noise? Let's just say you know they're there! Fun Times!
