Stay near popular Tropical North Waterfront attractions

One of best things to do in Cairns is ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway. It's a 90 minute journey that takes you down the mountain to Cairns passing waterfalls, scenic lookouts and over old bridges. Catch the Skyrail up the mountain from Cairns and then catch the train back down. Or, vice versa.

Want to spot a turtle? A trip to Green Island will pretty much guarantee you a sighting! Just don't expect the best coral for snorkelling, but that's a trade off if you can bag a selfie like this... #waterlust www.cheskiesgaplife.com #colorful

Hilton Cairns

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the towels were soft and fluffy. I appreciated receiving a text message asking if I needed anything during my stay, it was convenient to be able to communicate that way. Both the front desk staff and the breakfast staff were friendly, and it made me feel I’d like to stay again. Thank you. :) "
