As a nature-lover’s paradise, Tropical North Queensland allows travellers to explore the rainforest, take a dive on the reef, enjoy an island adventure or just laze on the beach.

Tucked between the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea and the lush rolling downs of the Atherton Tableland to the west, Cairns is renowned for its aquatic wonderland and the Wet Tropics World Heritage rainforest. Visitors can explore the picturesque volcanic crater lakes, rainforest and woodland scenery of the Cairns Highlands.

If warm tropical water and pristine beaches lined with majestic Palm trees are more to your liking, be sure to visit Palm Cove and Beaches, or stop in to Port Douglas and the World Heritage listed jewel that is the rainforest of Daintree and Cape Tribulation.

For fishing and croc spotting tours, Cape York Peninsula is the place to go. Mission Beach offers just as much to the extreme sports enthusiast.

Just off the main land, the Reef and Islands area hold the key to relaxation or visit one of Australia’s hidden gems, the Torres Strait Islands, and admire the surrounding reefs which provide the diverse habitats for marine life including dugongs and sea turtles.

Whether it’s an indulgent break or a thrilling adventure, this stunning region of Tropical North Queensland offers you a magical and life-changing experience.
