Cairns Holidays

Stay at the gateway to the spectacular Great Barrier Reef with Cairns holiday packages. From snorkelling on the reef to hiking in ancient rainforests, explore awe-inspiring natural wonders with thrilling adventures. When it’s time to relax, kick off your shoes on beautiful beaches and dine alfresco along the Cairns Esplanade as the sun sets.


Things to do on holidays in Cairns

Cairns package deals give you the opportunity to spot the Great Eight underwater creatures of the Great Barrier Reef, including manta rays and giant clams. Take a boat cruise for diving and snorkelling. Off the water, trek in the Daintree Rainforest, one of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests. 

Book all-inclusive Cairns holidays and stay near the Cairns Lagoon on the esplanade. The saltwater pool is surrounded by picnic spots and restaurants. Shop at the Cairns Night Markets for artisan-made jewellery and souvenirs. In Palm Cove, stroll along the golden sand and splurge on luxury spa treatments. 


Where to stay on a Cairns holiday

Cairns getaway deals with accommodation in the Central Business District put you in the heart of the action. While the atmosphere is relaxed, there’s plenty to do with shops, restaurants and nightclubs just steps from fantastic Cairns holiday houses and hotels. Trinity Beach is popular for romantic Cairns weekend getaways. The picturesque seaside town features coastal walks and charming restaurants. 

Enjoy a quiet escape in Palm Cove, a sophisticated beach suburb just 25 minutes from Cairns Airport. Connected to Palm Cove by a walking track, Clifton Beach is a family favourite with a playground and barbecues. Stay at Yorkeys Knob and tee off at the Half Moon Bay Golf Club or take kitesurfing lessons. 

Beachfront Cairns holiday packages

Laze beneath shady palm trees right on the Palm Cove beachfront with all-inclusive Cairns holiday packages to Paradise on the Beach Resort. When you’re not in the swimming pool or building sandcastles, walk to boutique shops and trendy restaurants. 

Enjoy lovely ocean views from your room at Coral Sands Beachfront Resort at Trinity Beach. Fully-self-contained apartments rest amid tropical landscapes. Sea Point on Trinity Beach features a resort-style pool with a waterfall. 

Cairns family holiday deals

Enjoy cocktails at the swim-up bar while the kids splash in a dedicated pool at the Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort. Cairns family holidays here put you within steps of the Cairns Night Markets and Cairns Central Shopping Centre. 


Find Cairns family holiday packages to Shangri-La The Marina, with tropical gardens and swimming pools right next to Marlin Marina for boat trips to the reef. BreakFree Royal Harbour offers spacious, self-contained apartments to suit families.

When visiting Cairns, you can't miss out on the local food scene. The neighborhood is filled with popular restaurants that cater to all tastes. For a taste of authentic Italian cuisine, head to L'Unico Trattoria, a highly popular pizzeria. If you're in the mood for Asian flavors, Nu Nu Restaurant is a must-visit, with its highly rated dishes. And for seafood lovers, Prawn Star is the place to go, offering a variety of delicious seafood options. In addition to these restaurants, Cairns is also known for its oasis catering, numerous great cafes, and casual dining spots, where you can enjoy a nice lunch or grab a drink at a bar.
