Explore the stunning scenes of the Great Barrier Reef with thrilling excursions, including snorkelling with tropical fish in Paradise Reef and seeing the stunning Heart Reef from above on a seaplane. You could even take a ferry to Fitzroy Island National Park for a relaxing kayak and hike through the open woodland, or saunter into the city centre for the lively Cairns markets and the delicious, innovative restaurants and bars.
