Explore the Reef


Cairns is Australia’s principal gateway to the mesmerising underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. During the day, there are incredible opportunities for diving and snorkelling amongst the abundant sea life of the Reef without even venturing too far from the city of Cairns. Superyacht charters in the region will often use the Cairns Marlin Marina as a starting point to explore the Great Barrier Reef, while day trips to Fitzroy and other islands are ideal for those looking for secluded bliss.
Rainforest Adventures


With the Great Barrier Reef on its ocean side, Cairns is also blessed with proximity to another natural wonder, the Daintree Rainforest. There are plenty of exiting activities to jump into here for nature-enthusiasts and adrenaline-junkies alike. In the town of Kuranda, you can experience the rainforest in many different but equally enthralling ways, whether from above on the Skyrail or passing through on the Scenic Railway. Kuranda Rainforest Journeys offer high-octane thrills where guests can get up close to the nature on ATV tours, with encounters with rare wildlife such as cassowaries.


Wildlife


Exploring this area of Tropical North Queensland, you will be immersed in a stunning natural environment boasting a diverse wildlife. From the Butterfly Sanctuary to Crocodile adventures, Cairns has so much to discover and you can spend your days becoming acquainted with some of the unique species that inhabit this peaceful region.


City Luxury


For a little indulgence, there are plenty of luxury experiences in the city of Cairns. The Marina-adjacent Shangri-La Hotel and the Riley Crystalbrook Collection Resort offer two opulent retreats where you can be pampered in spas before sipping cocktails by an outdoor pool.


There is a great variety of fine dining restaurants to be found around Cairns, from fresh seafood in waterfront restaurants, to French delicacies at C’est Bon. The Salt House is a modern venue which overlooks the Marina, offering an exclusive dining experience before turning into a vibrant evening venue.


Aboriginal Experiences


Tropical North Queensland has a proud indigenous culture which has thrived for thousands of years, and now provides unique experiences to enhance your charter itinerary.


Delving deep into the Daintree Rainforest, the Jarramali Rock Art Tours will expose you to an authentic, Aboriginal culture where you will uncover hidden rock art dating back over 20,000 years. Closer to Cairns, a short sail across from the Cairns Marlin Marina through the mangroves leads to the Mangindalbray Ancient Indigenous Tours, an enriching experience which enlightens guests about the biodiversity of the Mangingalbray Yidinji land.
