Boat Tours – Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas

Experience Boat Tours in Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas

A boat tour and more: You’ll soon realise that one boat tour may not be enough to capture the essence of this stunning location. After all, the Great Barrier Reef is something to behold. Perhaps take two tours to get a fuller experience and capture the beauty of this underwater world.

Just bare in mind: You may want to go for a swim, why not, it’s a beautiful location. Just be aware that between the months of November and May it can be very dangerous. Most locals recommend the freshwater lagoons and lakes so to avoid jellyfish, crocs and other dangerous creatures.

It’s the nature you need to watch: Cairns has a low crime rate, so you’ll find getting around the city is ok, it’s the dangerous wildlife you need to be taking care of. You’re highly unlikely to come across a crocodile, but just remain aware.

• The birds, the birds! Yep, visit Cairns, and you’ll find it’s home to the world’s most dangerous bird, the cassowary. It’s smaller than an emu but far stronger.

• You’ll also find that Cairns has the largest moth in Australia. The huge Hercules Moth. It has a wingspan of over 27cm. It’s not just the crocs to look out for!

• It grew out of the gold mining rush and sugar farming, and eventually, Cairns became a recognised city in 1923. Its population is estimated at just over 150,000.
