Creator's Key Takeaways

I came up from Brisbane and I absolutely loved it.

This is absolutely amazing.

I would say this is definitely one of the most popular attractions along the Esplanade.

It's a nice place to walk around considering it's free.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Plan to stay in Cairns for around 4 to 7 days to see Daintree, the Great Barrier Reef, and other attractions.
✓If you're planning to see a lot of the rainforest and go up into the mountains, you'll probably just end up getting a rental car.
✓The dry season is from May to October for the best weather with lowest humidity.
✓The sweet spot for reef visibility and pleasant temperatures is June to September.
