Watch the cassowaries that live on the Etty Bay sand, spy crocs on a Daintree River cruise, or pop in to see the marsupials at one of the region&#8217;s conservation parks. For those that like getting wet, strap on a snorkel and descend into the deep to meet the fish and turtles that call the Great Barrier Reef home.<\/p>\r\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/great-barrier-reef-optimized-blog-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/great-barrier-reef-optimized-blog-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/great-barrier-reef-optimized-blog-1-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/great-barrier-reef-optimized-blog-1.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>\u00a0THINGS TO DO IN CAIRNS FOR FOODIES<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Atherton Tablelands \u2013 an hour &#8220;up the hill&#8221; from Cairns via the Gillies Range \u2013 is one of Australia&#8217;s most diverse food bowls. Dairy cows make milk that&#8217;s turned into cheese and ice cream, coffee and chocolate are regional specialties, limes and avocados grow in family-owned orchards, and tea plantations occupy the plateaus. Mungalli Dairy, Nerada Tea Plantation, Gallo Dairyland, Mt Uncle Distillery, Emerald Creek Ice-Creamery and Jaques Coffee Plantation are all worth a stop to help graze the day away.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>THINGS TO DO IN CAIRNS FOR FAMILIES<\/h2>\r\n<p>Tropical North Queensland is a family-friendly destination with pontoons and glass-bottom boats making it easy for young travellers to experience the <a href=\"\/destination\/regions\/great-barrier-reef\/\">Great Barrier Reef<\/a> before following the journey a raindrop makes from freshwater to open ocean at Cairns Aquarium. And families can&#8217;t finish a holiday in Far North Queensland without a freshwater frolic, and the short stroll from the car park beside Malanda Falls makes this an accessible pond for little legs.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>THINGS TO DO IN CAIRNS FOR COUPLES<\/h2>\r\n<p>Forget rainforest and reef, the real natural wonders of Far North Queensland are the waterfalls. Millaa Millaa Falls is the most instagrammable of the region&#8217;s drops, those keen on venturing into the Tablelands to see Queensland&#8217;s highest town can continue to Millstream Falls which is Australia&#8217;s widest single-drop waterfall, and Josephine Falls is a favourite for swimming.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/milla-milla-falls-blog-image-2-optimized-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/milla-milla-falls-blog-image-2-optimized-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/milla-milla-falls-blog-image-2-optimized-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/milla-milla-falls-blog-image-2-optimized.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>THINGS TO DO IN CAIRNS FOR ADRENALINE JUNKIES<\/h2>\r\n<p>Stay close to <a href=\"\/destination\/cities\/cairns\/\">Cairns<\/a> by tackling rope courses, zipline over the legendary crocodile Goliath, and soar with the birds on the Power Jump at Cairns ZOOM &amp; Wildlife Dome or venture a little further afield and ride the giant swing at AJ Hackett&#8217;s Skypark in Smithfield. Those looking to head into the hills should delve into the heart of Wooroonooran National Park and complete the challenging three-hour round-trip hike to Windin Falls, which is the Far North&#8217;s most magnificent waterfall.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>\u00a0THINGS TO DO IN CAIRNS FOR SHOPAHOLICS<\/h2>\r\n<p>WEEKEND markets are a way of life in the Far North, with communities from Palm Cove and Port Douglas to Tully and Tumoulin playing host to stalls selling all sorts of goodies. But, if you can&#8217;t make it to the regions, Rusty&#8217;s Market and the Night Markets are in central Cairns while Kuranda is just up the hill.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>THINGS TO DO IN CAIRNS FOR WALKERS<\/h2>\r\n<p>The best option for stretching the legs is strolling the Esplanade at sunrise, but it\u2019s far from the only choice. The Yellow Arrow circuit is a short but steep climb through the rainforest, a magnificent view is the reward for conquering Earls Hill, and those seeking something less strenuous should stroll Centenary Lakes at the Cairns Botanic Gardens.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>\u00a0THINGS TO DO FOR ISLAND ENTHUSIASTS<\/h2>\r\n<p>KEEN to see the islands but already crossed Fitzroy and Green from your to-do list? Then it&#8217;s time to book a Frankland Islands cruise and experience one of the Far North&#8217;s hidden gems. The excursion includes transfers from Cairns, a cruise along the South Johnstone River to the Coral Sea, and time to explore the islands from above and below the surface.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>THINGS TO DO IN CAIRNS DURING WET SEASON<\/h2>\r\n<p>Summer is the steamy season in the Far North when the landscape comes to life with an abundance of green-season colour. Spectacular afternoon storms make waterfalls rumble, the warm evening breezes whisper through the cane fields that stretch towards the horizon, and taking a dip in a mountain stream is the best way to cool down.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>THINGS TO DO IN CAIRNS AT NIGHT<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Esplanade and waterside dining precincts are home to some of the city&#8217;s best restaurants and cafes, but it&#8217;s best to make a reservation as the city&#8217;s eateries fill quickly at dinnertime. Wander the stalls at the Night Market then secure a scoop of ice cream and sit beside the Trinity Bay boardwalk to enjoy the buskers while watching the parade of promenading pedestrians.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>CAIRNS WITH AAT KINGS<\/h2>\r\n<p>AAT Kings has been showing travellers Tropical North Queensland&#8217;s famous places and hidden gems for decades offering <a href=\"\/holiday-options\/day-tours\/?category=queensland\">day-trip tours<\/a>, <a href=\"\/holiday-options\/short-breaks\/?category=queensland\">short breaks<\/a> and <a href=\"\/holiday-options\/guided-holidays\/?category=queensland\">multi-day holidays<\/a> around the colourful country crowning <a href=\"\/destination\/territories\/queensland\/\">Queensland<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/tours\/cairns\/cairns-and-the-great-barrier-reef\/\">Cairns &amp; the Great Barrier Reef\u00a0<\/a>is perfect for those with limited vacation time and this four-day adventure dedicates a day each to savouring the Great Barrier Reef and Kuranda Rainforests from a comfortable base in the Far North\u2019s capital.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/tours\/east-coast-islands-and-rainforest\/\">East Coast Islands &amp; Rainforest<\/a> tacks a three-night stay in Cairns onto the end of a 12-day expedition that starts in Sydney and follows the coast to Tropical North Queensland.
