Meet a Local Host
I was born in Madrid, Spain. I have lived in Australia with my family since I was four years old and over the last 15 years, I have worked in the tourism industry, which I love. In my job I meet people from all over the world, and it gives me the opportunity to share a condensed version of what Australia—as a multicultural, colorful land—has to offer them on their visit Down Under.
Fishlips Bar & Bistro
If you want to go where the locals go for seafood in Cairns, this is the place. You can try the local barramundi or be more adventurous and order the pan-fried crocodile!
Met Bar
A cigar only seems fitting after a hearty meal of kangaroo. The sophisticated cigar lounge here offers the perfect setting.
Wait-a-While Rainforest Tours
Many rainforest animals are nocturnal and difficult to spot during the day. If you’re a little nocturnal yourself, consider one of these tours designed to maximize wildlife encounters. They start at 3:00 pm and end around 11:00 pm.
Barfly
A free entertainment newspaper, Barfly is published every Thursday and will guide you to the after-hours hot spots and local music scene in Cairns. Be sure to pick one up.
Fishing Cairns
Cairns is the black marlin capital of the world. Whether you want to reel in one of these giant fish or try your skill against a barracuda or a tiger shark, this outfit can get you to the secret spots.
Cairns Esplanade
Get a taste of local life as well as a little exercise at this Cairns focal point. Go for a morning jog, join families flying kites, or take a swim in the lagoon.
Reef House Day Spa
Visit this spa in the Sebel Reef House Hotel for a little rejuvenation. The Kodo Body Massage—a rhythmic massage using ancient Aboriginal techniques—should do the trick.
