How to spend 3 days in Cairns (The perfect itinerary)

How to spend 3 days in Cairns (The perfect itinerary)

I recently spend some time in Far North Queensland, and I fell in love with this area! From stunning untouched roughed nature to the Great Barrier Reef, a Rainforest and a pumping city! Cairns in Queensland truly has it all! I have therefore created this Cairns itinerary for when you are heading to Far North Queensland for a couple of days and want to head out and explore. This Cairns Itinerary will allow you to explore Cairns itself for one day and takes you out to Fitzroy Island as well as Daintree National Park. Though you can’t see everything in Cairns and its surroundings in just 3 days, I think this itinerary will allow you to cover as much ground as possible.

Cape Tribulation | Half a day snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef

Cape Tribulation | Half a day snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef in Northern Queensland is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981. Due to pollution and bleaching, the reef is in a bit of trouble. When I, therefore, had the chance of snorkeling at two different locations during a snorkel safari I jumped at the chance. If I had known that there would be a storm and that the ocean was going to be choppy, I might have reconsidered…. But there was no way out. In this post, I will take you along on a trip with Ocean Safari. I will show you the two snorkeling sites, what it is like to take this trip, what you can expect and what happens when massive waves interfere with your trip.
