You can see spectacular Cairns with car hire, surrounded by some of the most breathtaking natural landscapes and attractions including the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Whilst in Cairns, visit Harley's Crocodile Adventures for a chance to get up close and personal with a croc! Soar over the landscape on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, and learn about traditional Aboriginal culture at the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, all easily reached within a short comfortable drive. Head inland from the coast to visit the 110 million-year-old Daintree Rainforest, located approximately 3 hours north of Cairns. This drive will be well worth it when you discover the amazing views of tropical landscape. Enjoy bush walking, take a cruise along the river whilst spotting crocodiles or take a plunge in the numerous natural swimming holes.
