We at visitcairns.com.au are her to help you decide what to do in Cairns. We are a husband and wife team who have lived in the area for over ten years, all of which has been spent working in and around all the best Cairns has to offer.

A holiday in Cairns is sometimes a once in a lifetime opportunity and the tours you choose to do and the sights you choose to see should be a decision that isn't taken lightly. We certainly know and appreciate that holidays are special times and can cost a lot of hard earned money. The last thing one needs whilst travelling are difficulties, especially when they can be avoided. Holidays are for sheer enjoyment, pleasure and do have long-lasting memories. So let us help you decide what to do in Cairns. We know what to do in Cairns.

On this website you will find just about everything you can do in Cairns and the surrounding areas of Far North Queensland such as Cape York, The Tablelands, Cooktown, Port Douglas, Innisfail to Cardwell and beyond. There are visits to the Great Barrier Reef, the World Heritage Listed Rainforests or the Australian Outback or the adrenalin pumping action of adventures tours. You could also visit one of the few remaining driveins left in Australia, the Mareeba Rodeo DriveIn for a great and cheap night out. Whichever you choose, have a look at the different tours we have on the site and don't be afraid to ask questions. We can also organise the perfect tropical wedding. We are very approachable and we talk to people from all over the globe so if you do have a question, query, or even some difficulties because you can’t find exactly what you are looking for on our website just email us and we will do the leg work for you.

About Us                      

The cairnsqueenslandaustralia.com.au website is part of the www.visitcairns.com.au group of websites which  has been operating successfully for  over 10 years and is owned/operated by local people with local knowledge; the husband & wife team Heidi & Marty who have lived in the Cairns area for many years. We believe that this part of the world is truly a tropical paradise but then we are a little bias in that regards. 

We have travelled extensively throughout Queensland especially from Cairns to the tip of Cape York and the Torres Strait. We know the area extremely well. No matter where you travel there is no substitute for specialised, proven local knowledge. One of the challenges we find talking to visitors arranged their travel plans, booked by non-locals is that often they unfortunately do not understand the geography of the region, it is bigger than you think! e.g. Port Douglas is not a suburb of Cairns. As a consequence they frequently have their clients doing more travelling than is necessary. Let’s face it, you can spend a long time travelling just to get here - a better co-ordinated programme enabling you to do everything you want to do makes for a more successful and enjoyable tropical holiday - this can only be achieved by utilising sound local knowledge and experiences. 

We both are certified scuba divers, both having done over 100 dives, mostly on the Great Barrier Reef around Cairns. We both have worked in the dive industry, both on the boats and behind the scenes in admin roles.

We also acknowledge and respect that everybody is an individual and not every listing we have on our site will suit every individual's needs. We will endeavour  to tailor any tour/accommodation, where practical and possible, to suit those individual needs to the best of our knowledge.We know what to do in Cairns.

We hope that you enjoy your virtual visit to Cairns and our website and do look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Cheers From the Tropics!

Heidi & Marty
