Music & Arts Tour in Cairns

Cairns's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest, a tropical city where walking the Esplanade and exploring the surrounding tablelands puts you between two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
