Great spot to get some fresh seafood at descent prices. They have a basic, yet delicious fish and chip menu as well. Their family size chips can easily feed up to 4 adults!!

Parks & Nature

Perfect spot to do some exercise or sight seeing. There are four different trails (Red, blue, green and yellow) that meander through the rainforest covered Lumley hill. They range in length from 15min-3.5hours and require moderate levels of exercise to complete - take plenty of water!! Great views of Cairns harbour

Perfect place to head on a hot day. You'll need a car to access this place or catch an uber as busses dont run this far. Expect to walk 5-10min from the carpark along a sealed path (wheelchair friendly) to access numerous fresh water swimming holes. Water is cold and absolutely no crocodiles here!!!

Entertainment & Activities

Newly built (2018) aquarium. Not the biggest aquarium in the world but definitely worth a look - especially on a rainy day. One of the main tanks acts as a backdrop to the restaurant wall which makes it a great spot for a quick bite or coffee whilst watching sharks, rays and other creatures swim past.

Top spot to book a kayaking tour out to double island where you get to snorkel and explore the reef. Sunscreen, hat and water is a must but all the other equipment is provided. There are two or three different operators but we can recommend the company closest to the jetty (they have a trailer parked there and launch directly abeam the jetty)

Your one stop shop to book tours out to the great barrier reef. Each company has a front desk in the foyer of the terminal so you'll be spoilt for choices and can tailor your packages to suit your needs and budget. We recommend "Reef Magic" as they have great customer service, a well maintained boat and one of the best buffet lunches out on the pontoon!
