​Gimuy/Cairns is the gateway to the Wet Tropics of Queensland, and the only place in Australia where two UNESCO World Heritage areas sit side by side—the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest.

​

The region is rich in Aboriginal culture, with more than 20 Rainforest Aboriginal groups in the Wet Tropics, who continue to embed traditional knowledge within contemporary management practices to ensure the region is protected for future generations. 

​

Gimuy/Cairns offers easy access to world-class snorkeling, diving, and island adventures, immersive rainforest experiences, scenic and cultural tours, and a vibrant food and arts scene. The CBD is a short 10 minute drive from the airport.​​​
