If you’re looking for the perfect destination escape then you can’t go past Cairns. With its tropical weather, stunning natural beauty and a wide array of attractions, this is the perfect ‘home away from home’.

BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut is nestled in peaceful, landscaped tropical gardens, with a wide range of onsite facilities and activities. Here are just some of the reasons you should be packing your bags and heading to Cairns.

Great Barrier Reef

A trip to Cairns wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the reef. A great way to see the best of the Great Barrier Reef is with Reef Magic Cruises. Travel by modern catamaran to the spectacular all-weather Marine World platform for a day exploring the colourful world of fish and coral beneath the ocean surface. Go snorkelling or diving, take a semi-submersible tour or learn about sea life from experienced marine biologists.

Warm tropical weather

While the southern states are shivering through winter, the cooler months are the perfect time to visit Cairns. The warm and sunny autumn and winter weather make it the perfect holiday destination all year round, and add to Cairns’ relaxed tropical vibe.

Tjapukai Cultural Park

Discover the world’s oldest living culture at Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, 15 minutes from Cairns. Enjoy live performances of music, dance and storytelling, see authentic artefacts once used by the Tjapukai people and murals created by Tjapukai artists. For an immersive experience join in Night Fire, where you will be welcomed to a celebration of Dreamtime stories and the lighting of the ceremonial fire before enjoying a delicious meal.

Cairns Aquarium

Discover the extraordinary world that exists under water at Cairns Aquarium. The attraction is home to over 15,000 animals, with a particular focus on the diverse natural habitats of tropical North Queensland. Get up close with some extraordinary creatures, listen to entertaining talks and demonstrations, or treat yourself to an animal experience.

Fitzroy Island

Fitzroy Island’s sandy beaches and lush vegetation is just a 45 minute ferry ride from Cairns. Visitors can purchase a Self-Guided Historical Hike booklet that will offer interesting facts about the island, historical points of interest and anecdotes to bring your hike to life. Follow the summit track for breathtaking views of Welcome Bay and the rainforest, and stop at lighthouses and sites that hark back to the World War II military occupation. The Secret Garden and Nudey Beach walks offer less challenging options with equally as beautiful scenery.
