Cairns & North Queensland Destination Guide

Reef, Rainforest and Outback…Cairns is the only place in the world where two World Heritage-listed sites – the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest – lie side by side and for the more adventurous; Australia’s outback is also just a short travel away. From 7-9am each morning over 100 day tours depart and within 2 hours visitors can be in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef, expansive outback or a 110 million year old rainforest. Mike Ball Dive Expeditions, with the benefit of local knowledge on their side, can assist you in planning any additional tours and excursions you may wish to undertake while in Cairns.
