Exceptional offsite venues at unique locations are the essence of offsite events to be remembered in Cairns & Great Barrier Reef. A welcome event in an aquarium, a seaside extravaganza featuring dinghies filled with seafood, or a farewell function in a cane field with local produce emerging from a smoker are among the region’s high-impact immersive experiences.
Offsite events bring out the creativity in the Cairns & Great Barrier Reef business events industry which specialises in repurposed venues that celebrate the destination’s history. A barn dance and fairground in a timber mill, long lunch on a sugar wharf, or an elegant sit-down dinner in a World War II fuel tank are among the options for delegates.
