The Natural Place to Meet
Cairns & Great Barrier Reef is a tropical region encouraging genuine connections to nature and each other. Five-star hotels and resorts line the waterfront of Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas, and our tropical islands. Create great moments in the oldest rainforest, choose your own adventure on the largest coral reef and learn from two indigenous cultures.
WORK GREAT – CONNECT GREAT – CREATE GREAT – LEAVE GREATER
Eco-Sustainable Event Destination
The business events industry in Cairns & Great Barrier contributes to the conservation of our natural environment through their eco-sustainable practices.
Nurturing Nature & Delegates
Business events can reduce their environmental impact, ensure events are staged with a greater purpose, and provide a sense of achievement for delegates who attend.
Beer that helps the Great Barrier Reef
Cairns & Great Barrier Reef is the natural place to meet… and eat and drink! Ask anyone who’s visited, and they’ll tell you discovering our reef and rainforest is thirsty work.
Introduce your delegates to the world’s oldest rainforest
Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is an experience through Australia’s most famous rainforest, the Wet Tropics, whose ancestry predates dinosaurs and is home to 15 of the 26 families of ancient flowering plants in the world, just to name a few accolades.
Minimise the impact of where your delegates lay their head
As Crystalbrook Collection expands across Australia, their three Cairns-based properties lead the way on their mantra “travel with a lighter footprint”.
Delegates contribute to reef health
As a natural delegate booster, it’s hard to go past the world’s most extraordinary reef; the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef.
Whatever the weather, Cairns is the natural place to meet
Cairns & Great Barrier Reef is a full sensory experience for delegates. Our seasons deliver warm days all year. Regular rainfall over summer and autumn keeps the landscape a rich green; the rainforest is at its most lush and waterfalls are full and spectacular for pre and post-touring adventures.

![Just a couple of Papuan Frogmouths caught by the paps 🎥 Much like our fan favourites the Tawny Frogmouth, these guys aren't actually owls at all 🦉 They are part of the Nocturnal Nightjar family, and are the largest of the Frogmouths in length 🌴🪶 Although the Papuan Frogmouth is common, they’re masters of disguise, meaning they can be hard to spot to even by the sharpest pair of eyes 👀

Well around here, we think Murray Falls. This stunning spot boasts crystal clear waters and naturally sculptured granite boulders 💦
The Yalgay Ginja Bulumi walk offers views overlooking the Kirrama Range and Murray Valley 🤩 But the best way to experience the Murray Falls and surrounds is to pitch a tent at the campgrounds, just a mere 300m from the waterfall ⛺️
While swimming at the falls itself is restricted, it’s only a few minutes walk to a great swimming hole downstream, complete with its very own natural waterslide 🛝🌴

Welcome to a new month, we know you might be getting back into the 'swing' of things but a trip to #CowBay never goes astray 😉🌴
Do you know how this spot got its name? ...

It’s not every day you can spot a prehistoric creature right on the beachfront, but in #EttyBay that’s exactly what you’ll get! 🏝 The Cassowary is an evolutionary relic, having first appeared...
![It’s not every day you can spot a prehistoric creature right on the beachfront, but in #EttyBay that’s exactly what you’ll get! 🏝 The Cassowary is an evolutionary relic, having first appeared millions of years ago. Some believe it to be the closest living relative to dinosaurs and Etty Bay is definitely one of the top cassowary spotting locations in the region 😯 Don’t forget: Keep your distance if you are lucky enough to see @australia’s own avian icon in the wild 🌿👀
