Want to Experience Tropical North Queensland? Your options are loading below...

Tropical North Queensland is the place for activities, adventures, daytrips, and a whole range of experiences that cater to all ages, tastes and interests. In fact Cairns has over 600 different day tours and experiences to choose from but so you don’t spend too much time on your holiday deciding what to do next from all of the options, it’s best to plan and book ahead. Visit Queensland can help connect you with memorable tours, attractions and activities for your holiday in TNQ.

At the top of the list for just about every visitor to TNQ is the Great Barrier Reef and from Cairns and Port Douglas visitors can access this World Heritage natural wonder on commercial cruises closer than at any other points along the Queensland coast. That means you spend more time seeing the reef whether its snorkelling or diving, from an underwater viewing chamber or in a glass-bottom boat. Well worth considering are 2-day packages that combine a choice of a daytrip reef cruise with a second day enjoying another highlight of TNQ such as Skyrail or the Kuranda Scenic Rail.

If you love adrenalin then it’s here by the bucket full – in fact enough to tick off lots of your bucket list. From diving and snorkelling on the reef to a snorkel tour drifting down a shallow river amidst a rainforest, sea kayaking and paddle-boarding, jungle surfing through the rainforest canopy on a zip-line, white water rafting down the rapids of a mountain river or canyoning.

There is adventure to experience including river cruises that seek out the resident crocodiles living in the wild or join an amphibious vehicle tour. Perhaps something more sedate but equally absorbing is more to your interests such as interpretive walking tours of the rainforest discovering the plants, birds and animals that thrive here and discovering the ways Aboriginal people understood how to find food and create medicines from the plants of these ancient forests. Food is also the theme for food trail tours of the Tablelands to taste the produce, visit the farms and providores and the coffee plantations of the lush highlands that back the coastal plains.

There is so much to explore and experience in Tropical North Queensland. Let Visit Queensland help you discover this fantastic part of the Sunshine State.
