Excursion Cairns botanical gardens & scenic coastline tour at Cairns

Spend a tranquil afternoon discovering two of Tropical North Queensland’s most charming locations. Nestled between rainforest-covered hills and the shimmering Coral Sea, Cairns is the vibrant gateway to Tropical North Queensland. Known for its laid-back atmosphere and stunning natural surrounds, it’s the perfect starting point for an afternoon of exploration and relaxation.

Begin with a leisurely stroll through the Cairns Botanical Gardens, where vibrant rainforest paths and exotic plant collections await. With no fixed itinerary, you’re free to wander at your own pace, snap photos, spot native butterflies, or simply sit beneath a shaded canopy and soak in the serenity.

After spending time among the plants, enjoy a scenic coastal drive north to Palm Cove - a charming seaside village known for its palm-lined beach and laid-back elegance. Once there, the time is yours to explore. Treat yourself to a beachfront drink, browse local boutiques, or take a barefoot walk along the shore. Whether you choose to unwind or wander, Palm Cove offers the perfect backdrop for self-guided exploration.
