Cairns is synonymous with Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Whether you like to scuba dive, snorkel or watch the underwater world from a glass-bottomed boat, Cairns is the place to do it. Explore this tropical coastal city with a friendly local guide who can show you the best of the region on a private Cairns tour.

A stroll along the esplanade and a trip out to ocean are a must in Cairns. If you choose to head inland, the Atherton Tablelands provide a window into one of Australia's beautiful wilderness areas. In the tablelands, the lush tropical foliage of Cairns gradually gives way to low mountains, waterfalls and sweeping vistas.

Wherever you choose to explore, your guide will eagerly show you plant and animal life that is unique to Australia. And after your tour, you can be sure your guide will have a great restaurant recommendation for your evening meal.

Enjoy your day out on a private Cairns tour!

Private Six Hour Cruise Ship Shore Tour of Cairns

Dont you just hate it when you arrive at a city port and after all your research you cant find any tour that suits. These days operators guide you toward crowded attractions where they cash in on incentives for arriving with as many travellers as they can. Well not me. If you book a private tour with me you really do get a LOCAL guide who will treat you to local attractions and points of interest beginning around the city, then into the rainforest. up towards the mountains and scenic lookouts and back down to the coast. You get to experience everything local skipping the crowds and the often annoying tourist shopping traps.
If you want a quality on shore day tour that cuts through the norm. Then this is where to find it. Leaving from either Cairns, Yorkeys Knob or by special request Port Douglas.
I cant wait for you to join me for a local scenic tour of Cairns and surrounds that you can make others jealous of, as you share your experience with those who chose to get taken for a different ride.

Cruise Ship Shore Tour of Cairns

The perfect tour for onshore cruise ship passengers. Take a day trip from Cairns to Kuranda Village in the rainforest on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, and return via the Kuranda Scenic Railway. Or, make the journey via road with your private guide, and return via the Barron Falls on the Scenic railway. Either way, I will tailor the day to suit individual or family needs.

Upon the cableway, enjoy a tranquil ride as you soar above the rainforest canopy, with views from Cairns all the way to the Great Barrier Reef. Spend free time in Kuranda Village with a variety of souvenir shops and attractions along with countless options available including a trip to Rainforestation Nature Park, in the rainforest, and visiting Koala Gardens, the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, bird-world, and more.

Kuranda Village Day trip with Skyrail and Scenic Rail - Shore Excursion

Skyrail Scenic Railway Day Trip from Cairns

Specifically designed for cruise ship passengers. This shore tour covers all the local and surrounding areas of interest and scenic beauty, crowd free. This shore tour is a mystery tour for several reasons.
A) Not all cruise ships are huge, some only carry up to 50 passengers. On the other hand, some of the bigger cruise liners with nearly 4000 passengers have to tender into the Northern beaches. Either way we are all over it, and will prioritize time frames so as not to waste your time, getting you back comfortably before sail time.
B) Not everyone has the same taste in activities and attractions. So, you tell me before you book what you or your group might prefer to see within the time we have, and I will tailor the tour accordingly, but you will be left with only an idea of what to expect.
C) Maybe your health is not quite up to what it used to be; we can assure you we have this covered as well. Just tell me what you need and consider it done. (No wheelchairs). Sorry.
