Tropical North Queensland
If your idea of paradise is endless white sandy beaches, fringed with exotic palms and lapped by crystal clear water, then Tropical North Queensland is the place for you.
A must for all visitors is a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. There are many day trips and cruises available which give you the opportunity to snorkel or dive amongst the coral and brightly coloured tropical fish. You can even explore without getting your feet wet, aboard a glass bottomed boat or semi-submersible.
On land you can journey above ancient rainforest to the village of Kuranda on the amazing Skyrail cableway, returning on the historic Scenic Railway, with spectacular views of the Barron Gorge and Falls. The nearby Tjapukai Park gives a fascinating insight into the Aboriginal culture and art of the region.

Rainforest Resorts
In tropical North Queensland there's no need to look for rainforest - it's all around, cascading down to the waters edge between Cairns and Port Douglas and stretching for hundreds of mile in the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest.
Take an unforgettable walk under the thick canopy of ancient native trees, adorned with creeping vines and ferns, or stroll along the pristine deserted sands where rainforest meets the Coral Sea.
