Escape On Lake in Cairns, conveniently located on Lake Street in the Cairns CBD
Welcome to Cairns, Tropical North Queensland
The gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, is a city in tropical Far North Queensland

Cairns Esplanade, lined with bars and restaurants, has a swimming lagoon. Northwest of the city, Daintree National Park spans mountainous rainforest, gorges and beaches.

Cairns sits on a shallow mangrove bay, which often exposes mudflats at low tide, and is enfolded by the rainforest-draped hills of the Great Dividing Range. Several idyllic tropical white sandy bays are to be found to the north of the city, while Kuranda and the Tablelands beckon from the range.

This is tropical Australia: romantic palm-fringed beaches, steaming rainforest and the legendary outback coupled with modern luxuries and unforgettable adventures.

Cairns epitomises Australia's laid-back and casual lifestyle and is a city that embraces the tropical vibe. The tropical climate means light, casual clothes, balmy nights under the stars and plenty of opportunity to sit under a shady tree and enjoy a cool drink.

Whilst in the region, consider some of these incredible destinations on your itinerary:
