Enjoy your experience! ----- Combine your Cairns Aquarium experience with a visit to the Turtle Hospital, followed by an afternoon of exploration with a Cairns City Sights Tour. Your day will begin at the Cairns Aquarium, which is home to more than 15,000 specimens and ten ecosystems. It is the only aquarium in the world to exclusively showcase the stunning aquatic wildlife from tropical North Queensland's two World Heritage-listed areas the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest. You will learn how a drop of rain descends from the Cairns Mountain Ranges into streams and rivers, through the rainforest, across the mangroves, along the shallow lagoons of the Great Barrier Reef and finally, into the depths of the Coral Sea. This afternoon's adventure stays by the water's edge at the Cairns Marlin Marina, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. It boasts first-class facilities and picturesque views over the water. Next, it's on to St. Monica's Cathedral. Join an exclusive tour with a dedicated museum guide to discover the Cairns Museum. Once afternoon tea is done, stretch your legs with a wander through the Flecker Gardens in Cairns Botanic Gardens. Then, have your camera at the ready as you visit a spectacular lookout with views over the city of Cairns and the Coral Sea before continuing to Lower Barron River Gorge National Park and Surprise Creek Falls. Finally, the tour heads further north to Palm Cove. Take a stroll along the jetty or beach of this picture-perfect location, fringed with coconut trees.
