Cairns is the gateway to two World Heritage wonders: the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. From here you can snorkel with turtles on an outer reef, wander the oldest rainforest on Earth, ride the Skyrail over the canopy or jump out of a plane above the coast, all in a single trip. Browse our most popular Cairns tours and day trips below, with prices from AUD $30 and the Best Price Guarantee* on listed tours.
Not sure where to start? Reef lovers should compare our Great Barrier Reef day trips, while those short on time or budget can take an island day trip to Green Island or Fitzroy Island. If rainforest is more your thing, the Daintree and Cape Tribulation and Kuranda Skyrail and Scenic Rail tours are our most-booked inland days out. Many tours also earn cashback when you book through Backpacker Deals, and our reviews are rated 4.9 on Trustpilot. Planning your trip? Our guide to the best things to do in Cairns covers it all.
