I will be very interested in hearing your days activities as we will be in Cairns on a cruise later next year. The ship will be overnighting there and as we have done Kuranda Village area previously, I am looking for other ideas. Your comments will be welcomed.

Hopefully the weather is kind.

Daintree

Port Douglas

Northern Beaches - Palm Cove

Tropical Botanical Gardens. 

Have fish and chips at a cairns restaurant (I had three on an overnight)

Walk along the Esplanade  Look at birds on the mud flats on low tide.  Watch swimmers in big waterfront pool.

Brilliant suggestions thank you, those ideas sound like a brilliant plan and very much the type of touring we like to do. From your photos, the ship looks to be in close proximity to the City limits. 

Thanking you.

The botanic gardens are an easy bus trip from the interchange close to where the ship docks.  The people in the terminal can direct you.  The bus cost us $6 for all day seniors passes

If anyone wants to enjoy a good fish meal, I went to three fish shops on my overnight stay.

There not much local seafood anymore.

There used to be 2,000 trawlers registered in Cairns and Port Douglas.

The trawlers registered there now are just tourist traps selling farmed , or foreign seafood.

There’s a trawler usually tied up in Port Douglas selling `seafood strait off the trawler’.

Its farmed prawns,farmed fish, mussels from N.Z. and oyster. There’s no oysters in the tropics, they would come from down south somewhere.
