Cairns Holiday Activities
In Cairns and the Tropical Far North there are countless activities for everyone and of all ages.
Being located in such an idyllic location right next to the Great Barrier Reef you will no doubt find an abundance of water related activities such as SCUBA diving, snorkelling, reef cruises and fishing tours. Cairns has become a must-visit destination for SCUBA divers from all around the world and during the coral spawning season becomes a mecca for divers to witness one of the most remarkable displays mother nature has to offer. Millions upon millions of tiny eggs are released into the ocean from the Coral Reef creating an underwater fireworks spectacular that man can only look upon in awe. |

You can go on an introductory dive or a fully certified dive. For those who don't like to get their feet wet there is always the comfort of glass bottom boats. So there isn't really an excuse not to explore all the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef. All these great activities can be booked in advance or upon arrival through the numerous booking agencies throughout Cairns or the front reception of your hotel or motel. There are numerous packages available for visitors to enjoy. You can go on a Balloon flight in the morning and White Water Rafting in the afternoon or go to the Barrier Reef.
