This is where we go if we want to get fancy. It's the best restaurant in Cairns in our opinion. Multi award winning with Asian fusion dishes, it's very romantic with a soft and intimate atmosphere. If you're a foodie you have to try it. Not for the budget holiday.

This amazing tropical island is only a 40 minute ferry ride from the Reef Fleet Terminal. A lot more tourists go to Green Island so we prefer to go here as there is less people. Snorkeling, diving, swimming, kayaking, glass bottom boat tours, lighthouse hike, snorkeling, walking track to the stunning Nudey Beach. Foxy's bar serves up a great cocktail and lunch. To get there, the Reef Fleet Terminal is less than 2kms from our apartment, an approx 8 minute drive without traffic
