Cairns - Gateway to The Great Barrier Reef
Known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and once a sugar milling town, Cairns is now a huge party destination with waterfront bars, casinos and clubs. With the sunshine all year round, Cairns is a tourist hub for people around the world that come to socialise down the strip, see live gigs and dive the reef.

Whether it’s for bucks, hens, footy trips, cricket trips, netball trips, group holidays, nye, golf trips or just a party holiday with your mates, we have you covered.

Pronounced “cans”, Cairns is a far cry from the boggy swampland it used to be. Nowadays, Cairns represents a true tourist resort filled with bars, restaurants, gift shops and hotels suitable for travellers of all budgets.
You can’t argue the unmistakable holiday aura that surrounds the city with its relaxed “shorts and T-shirt” atmosphere and humid warmth. Set on the foreshore of Cairns, you’ll find the stunning Esplanade Lagoon where you can catch the rays and swim in safety. The northern beaches are also very local at just a short bus ride distance away.
Don’t listen to the old-hats who argue the soul of Cairns has been sucked away; the city radiates an atmosphere that just screams “holiday”. It is almost impossible to come to Cairns and still be concerned by the thought of work and schedules; this place is the definition of a holiday destination.
