Port Douglas - A 44 mile spectacular scenic drive north from Cairns brings you to the world famous seaside village of Port Douglas. An international holiday mecca, Port Douglas has a distinctive "laid back" low rise tropical old world charm, an extensive range of accommodation options, and a world class array of restaurants and shopping, and is regarded as the most convenient base from which to explore the northern areas of the Great Barrier Reef and rainforest coast of Daintree and Cape Tribulation.

Cairns Northern Beaches - Just north of Cairns city limits is a spectacular 16 mile stretch of unspoilt golden beaches and the small seaside townships of Palm Cove, Trinity Beach, Clifton Beach, Kewarra Beach and Ellis Beach, each with its own distinctive character and providing much of the beach holiday accommodation for Cairns city. 

Atherton Tableland - A picturesque mosaic of unique plant and animal habitats, rainforests, national parks, mountains, rivers, lakes and beautiful waterfalls, combined with some of Australia’s richest agricultural lands and charming small "picture postcard" townships - all just a one hour drive from Cairns. 

Cooktown & Cape York - Cape York peninsula is one of the world’s last wilderness frontiers, and remains a vast area of few people and a landscape of rugged mountain ranges, rainforest, eucalypt and mangrove forests, woodlands and grasslands, swamps and mighty rivers where extensive wildlife abounds. 

Daintree & Cape Tribulation - The largest virgin tract of rainforest in Australia (and the second largest in the world), this lush, tropical World Heritage area is a living testimonial to the ancient rainforests which once covered the earth's surface. Cool forest streams, primitive rainforests, stunning mountain scenery and abundant wildlife - a naturalists and bird watchers paradise. 

Great Barrier Reef Islands - The islands of the Great Barrier Reef region of Tropical North Queensland, are Australia’s "crown jewels", with a choice of accommodation and activities for all budgets ranging from remote and secluded luxury lodges and elegantly sophisticated resorts, through to family oriented island getaways. 

Mission Beach & Cassowary Coast - One of the most unspoilt and undeveloped tourism destinations in the area - ideal for the visitor looking for both pristine natural beauty and a relaxed quiet getaway. The coastal fringe has wide sandy beaches, lined with small resorts and more than 25 offshore islands, while bushwalking and camping opportunities abound throughout the adjacent Wet Tropics rainforest areas. 

Outback & Gulf Savannah - Ever since cattleman and gold miners followed last century’s intrepid pioneer explorers, the Gulf Savannah has typified the romance of the legendary outback in Australian folk lore. Following the cattleman now are the new explorers, our visitors, who have found enchantment in the rugged and savannah bush land, dramatic volcanic landforms, steep escarpments and breathtaking fresh water gorges.
