There are so much to do around Cairns with lots of tours available daily departing from Cairns and Port Douglas. There are trips to do in the water, in the air, or on the ground. The variety of activities are quite wide but what would be the top tours to do in Cairns?

We, from Tourism Cairns have put together the best 3 types of tours you should not miss doing while visiting Cairns.

Great Barrier Reef Tours

The first tour you should do is the famous and incredible Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland is the largest living thing on Earth. You can't come all the way to Far North Queensland and not experience the beautiful Great Barrier Reef.

The tricky part is to choose the most appropriate boat company to go with, the one that will suit you and your family best.

If you are travelling with kids or elderly people you might be interested in travelling to one of the floating platforms. The platforms are great options for visitors who are not confident in the water. The pontoons offer several optional activities for non-swimmers such as Underwater Observatories, Semi-Submersibles, Glass Bottom Boat tours. Also If you are travelling with someone a bit more adventurous this isn't a problem, the platforms offer the Sea Walker (helmet diving), the Sea-Bob (snorkelling explorers), the Scooba-Doo (underwater scooters), Scuba Diving, and Guided Snorkelling Safaris.

Instead of the big platform you might be interested in something a bit more private and relaxing. In this situation you should have a look at one of the sailing boats available around the area. They usually travel in small groups with a more personalised service.

Either option you choose fun is definitely guaranteed.

Rainforest Tours
