The Great Barrier Reef
We’re crazy if this is not the first on our list. The Great Barrier Reef never fails to astound travelers with its calm waters and majestic marine life underneath. No wonder why this natural wonder gets the most visitors in all of northern Queensland!

Good thing you can relax in your private balcony at the Reef House which overlooks the Palm Cove beach where you can watch and wait for the sun to come down.

The Daintree Rainforest is one of the oldest rainforests in the world. It spans across the Cairns Region and nestles century-old trees and rare species of wildlife that have lived here on the earth before us.
If you have a thing for adventure, you’ll love this piece of land that offers a number of tours that you’ll definitely want to try.
You can marvel at the vastness of the rainforest from up above in the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. If you don’t fear heights, then you’ll love flying just meters above the canopy of trees. Don’t worry, weather-proof gondolas has been tried and tested to safely bring you to the other side while living a memorable experience!
If you’re afraid of heights but the waters don’t scare you, then a river cruise might be more suitable for you.
