Cairns is the cosmopolitan gateway to the abundant attractions that Far North Queensland has to offer -- the world's most famous reef, World Heritage listed rainforests and the lush Cairns highlands.

Cairns city is one of Australia's largest regional centres and its levels of service and safety is of an international standard.

Of course, the main reason for a holiday in Cairns is to explore the many islands and coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, tour the amazing Daintree rainforest and Mossman Gorge and venture even further north to Cape Tribulation and historic Cooktown.

There is just so much to do that you'll have a hard time fitting it all in! But we're here to help - 181 The Esplanade has a Tour Desk and the staff can advise and book tours for you free of charge.

There is plenty to do in Cairns!

From shopping, to fine dining, to trying your luck at the Casino…

You can take a stroll alongside Trinity Bay on the walkways of the Esplanade, finishing up with a cool swim in the modern Esplanade lagoon.

For a really unique experience, take the historic scenic train or Skyrail Rainforest Cableway to Kuranda, known locally as the "Village in the Rainforest," where there are many market stalls and shops with local arts and handicrafts.

There are also a number of wildlife parks in and around Cairns (including Kuranda) so you can get up close to local animals, birds and plants.

Your holiday in Cairns with 181 The Esplanade will prove to be most memorable.
