Why Cairns works for whale season

Cairns is one of Queensland's key gateways to the Great Barrier Reef, with reef, island and coastal day trips available during the whale migration season.

Humpback whales may be seen offshore during the migration window, especially on clear days and reef trips where conditions are suitable.

Make Cairns your base, then plan a reef, island or whale watching day trip while leaving time for dining, the Esplanade, the lagoon and nearby Tropical North Queensland experiences.

Stay longer and make the reef part of the trip. Book your Cairns stay direct and use whale season as a reason to explore the Great Barrier Reef, island tours and the coast.
