Tropical North Waterfront

Travel Guide

The lagoon in Cairns in awesome!! Free to swim, lounge, nice view of the ocean... cute shops around... o and free wifi! Great way to spend a relaxing day.
Book a harbour view apartment with Cairns Luxury Apartments and you'll be able to see your reef boat from your bedroom! You can't get more centrally located than this. www.cairnsluxuryapartments.com.au
The beaches around Cairns might not be the best, but a short boat ride out to sea and you could be relaxing in the crystal clear waters of Michaelmas Cay. Bliss! #waterlust #colorful www.cheskiesgaplife.com
Want to spot a turtle? A trip to Green Island will pretty much guarantee you a sighting! Just don't expect the best coral for snorkelling, but that's a trade off if you can bag a selfie like this... #waterlust www.cheskiesgaplife.com #colorful
Not got a waterproof camera to record your reef memories with? Do NOT buy a disposable one, it's expensive and your photos will not come out well. Instead pay $49 and hire a Canon G16 from Wetrez. You'll be able to take hundreds of high quality shots and at the end of the day get to keep the 4gb memory card containing your pictures. Way better! #waterlust www.cheskiesgaplife.com
