    Tropical adventure and natural wonders await when you visit Tropical North Queensland. From diving into the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef to stepping into the world’s oldest continuously surviving rainforest, driving to the northern most tip of Australia, or immersing yourself in the history of Australia’s two indigenous cultures, few destinations rival this one when it comes to things to see and do and learn. 

    Discover the abundant flavours of the tropics. Get your caffeine fix at a coffee plantation, sample the wares of local chocolatiers and cheesemakers or treat your tastebuds with seafood fresh from the ocean. 

    Explore the Great Barrier Reef

    Dive into an unforgettable adventure on the Great Barrier Reef, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World! Spanning an area nearly the size of Germany, this vibrant underwater paradise boasts over 1,500 species of fish and 400 types of coral. Just a short boat ride from Cairns, the reef offers countless ways to explore; from soaring above on a scenic flight and diving into its depths to gliding at sea level in a glass-bottom boat. Experience it all and be left in awe by the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef.

    Discover the world’s oldest living cultures

    Be inspired and connect with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander cultures - the oldest in the world. Led by Indigenous guides, discover their deep connection to the country and way of life. From rainforest hikes and rock art to spearfishing and exploring the Great Barrier Reef – even try playing a didgeridoo or boomerang throwing! Unlock the stories of this land with unforgettable experiences. 

    Venture through an ancient rainforest

    Step into the ancient Wet Tropics Rainforest, a natural wonder that has flourished for over 130 million years. This vibrant ecosystem boasts unique wildlife and plant species found nowhere else in the world. Wander through lush greenery beneath towering trees, bathe under cascading waterfalls, soar through the canopy on a zip-line or relax and rejuvenate in cozy rainforest cabins. With endless opportunities for adventure and discovery, the rainforest is yours to explore.

    Be enthralled by our Indigenous Culture

    When you’re looking for cultural connection, there’s no better place than Queensland. This is the only place where you can walk in the footsteps of the world’s two oldest living cultures - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Their history is not confined to textbooks or museums. Instead, it’s told three dimensionally through mediums like dance, art and community events – with an invitation for visitors to experience it firsthand.

    Immerse yourself in Queensland’s rich Indigenous history by walking under the healing mist of sacred waterfalls, learning to spear fresh seafood, or taking part in a traditional smoking ceremony. Spend a day or two exploring and you’ll start to see the world differently.
