<h2>Resort Cairns – What Cairns has to Offer</h2>
Cairns provides access to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforests along with the Australian Outback. Cairns, with its international and domestic airport, is the first stop for many visitors who want to see the authentic Australia.

Relax on the tropical beaches, snorkel on the reef and experience the unique tropical rainforests that date back to when the continent was part of ancient Gondwanaland, many thousands of years ago.

Take a swim in the famous Cairns Esplanade lagoon, then cast your eyes across the serene waters of Trinity Inlet and you will discover coastal ranges and mangrove areas that have changed little since the site was named by Captain James Cook in 1770.

The stunning Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect place to spend a sultry day basking in the sun and wading in the lagoon’s cool and seductive water. There are many shaded spots to take refuge from the sun in the heat of the day, as well as barbeque facilities. The boardwalk has unique displays of Cairns’s local culture and has many exercise facilities for those keen on getting a bit of exercise.

Cairns is extremely well suited to walking, or travel by bicycle. Well trodden routes and dedicated walking tracks are popular. A visit to the Cairns Botanical Gardens is not to be missed. It boasts 38 hectares of native Aussie gardens which are maintained to lush standards, and many plants found here cannot be seen anywhere else in the world.  Located among the vegetation is a coffee shop and restaurant, which is open every day for breakfast and lunch. Admission to the gardens is free.
