About Tropical North Queensland

Escape to Queensland's Tropical North and discover a place of vast beauty and natural wonders – an Australian tropical adventure brought to you by nature. Being the only place on earth where two World-Heritage areas meet, adventures are as diverse as trekking through an ancient rainforest one day, to diving off the world’s largest coral reef the next.

The sheer size and abundant underwater life of the Great Barrier Reef will take your breath away. You can explore its 900 islands and coral cays, hundreds of species of coral and more than 1500 species of fish. Your reef adventure can be awe-inspiring seaplane flight, a world class dive, snorkelling its warm waters or from the dry delights of a glass bottomed boat or submersible vessel.

Cairns is the international gateway to Queensland’s tropics. It’s the ideal place to start or finish your adventure. You’ll find a huge selection of accommodation styles, world class dining, entertainment and cultural facilities. It’s also an adventure into history. Delve into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture of the area or take a journey along the coastline of the Great Tropical Drive to learn about the colourful past of this vibrant part of the world.

Queensland’s Tropical North is your invitation to explore your adventurous side surrounded by the warmth of the tropics and the wide-eyed wonders of the reef and the rainforest. It’s an Australian tropical adventure where you’ll feel vital, connected and alive. It’s where Australia shines. And you’ll shine too, from the moment you arrive.
