Great Barrier Reef Island Cairns

A great way to see something of the Great Barrier Reef is by flying over this amazing area. There are several tours who can arrange a tour like this for you and most flight depart from Cairns General Aviation Airport.

A good tour I can definitely reccomend would be the Marine Life Spotting Flight where you will be able to spot turtles, sharks, dugongs and manta rays from a birds...

Rec Point Lookout Cairns

Cairns is the great place to start your Australia adventure and this town is just filled with exciting activities and adventure sports like skydiving, bungee jumping and tandem hang gliding.

The perfect place to go tandem hang gliden is at the Rex Point Lookout 40 kms north of Cairns. If you have rented a car its an easy road to drive but it's also possible to use a free shuttle if you've booked with a complany called Airplay Tandem Hang Gliding.

We picked up one of their brochures and decided this was the perfect thing to do considered the fact that we still hadn't rented a car in Cairns. Airplay has been working in the field of hang gliding for more than 20 years and their instructor Greg Newnham is just...

The lake at AJ Hackett Bungy Jumping Cairns

One of the things, besides sky diving, that we always wanted to do was to do a bungy jump and when you're in Australia, Cairns is the best place to do so.

Before leaving for Australia I'd already searched for some bungy jump locations and Cairns turned out to be the only place! There are some bungy jump locations in Auckland and Queenstown, New Zealand but in Australia Cairns is the main adrenaline centre.

AJ Hackett is kind of like the founder of bungy jumping as an adrenaline sport and he was the man who has put bungy jumping on the world map. The AJ Hackett Bungy Jumping site in Cairns therefor seemed a good place to do a first jump, knowing we were in experienced hands.

The bungy jump...
