Cairns isn’t just the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, it’s one of Australia’s most accessible destinations. With world-class infrastructure, inclusive tours, and welcoming operators, it’s a must-visit for travellers with accessibility needs.
From the moment you arrive, Cairns sets the standard for barrier-free adventure. The Cairns Esplanade Lagoon offers ramp access, beach wheelchairs, and hoist facilities, so everyone can cool off in tropical style.
No trip is complete without exploring the Great Barrier Reef. The award-winning Quicksilver Outer Reef Cruise is designed for inclusivity, with wheelchair-friendly catamarans, lift access to underwater observatories, and glass-bottom boat tours.
Back on land, the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway and Kuranda Scenic Railway make Queensland’s lush rainforest accessible, with step-free gondolas, wide pathways, and staff trained to support guests with diverse needs.
With accessible taxis, transfers, and accommodation throughout the city, Cairns is more than ready to welcome international visitors. Whether it’s reef, rainforest, or relaxation, AccessibleOz can tailor an itinerary that makes every moment barrier-free.
