Family Holidays

Cool Custom Trips for Kids and Parents

Although the Cairns area offers magical green rainforest, "outback" savannaland, and the spectacular Great Barrier Reef, we know kids want guaranteed fun.

That’s why we’ve found cool stuff like rides in semi-submarines, encounters with koalas and kangaroos, and a full day of rafting on a rollicking river. We can include all of the iconic attractions parents will love, but with a focus on matching the energy levels and attention spans of young travellers.

 

Kid Time, Adult Time

We understand families need a balance of time spent together and time apart. So we'll select accommodation that has the comfort you want, but lets the kids safely enjoy fun features like swimming pools, mini-golf, or movies under the stars.

Alternatively, let one of our guides take the kids on their own adventures while you enjoy some well-deserved adult time.

Fun and New Discoveries (and some learning too!)

Our trips are so fun your kids will forget they're learning. Think nighttime wildlife spotting with our guide, learning how to find Nemo during a reef presentation, or understanding reptile behaviour on a croc-spotting cruise.

Your journey will allow your children to start a relationship with nature, appreciate cultural diversity, and cultivate their sense of wonder. And they won't even know it's happening.

 

Choose from three options:
