World Heritage, World Class

The twin World Heritage icons, the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest are natural delegate boosters for any conference or event. Cairns & Great Barrier Reef is the only place where two World Heritage areas meet.

Wet Tropics Rainforest

The Wet Tropics is the only place on the planet where you’ll find the world’s smallest and tallest cycads living alongside the world’s most diverse assemblage of ancient and relict flowering plants. A haven for Australia’s greatest number of animal species in one place, 80 of which can’t be found anywhere else on the planet. It’s a living natural wonder, allowed to survive solely upon the miracle of circumstances. At 300 million plus years in the making, it’s still evolving; and your delegates can see, experience and become immersed in the wonder of the rainforests of the wet tropics.

The Delegate Experience
Recognised as the oldest tropical rainforest on the planet and the largest in Australia, the Wet Tropics Rainforest offers endless experiences for any group size. Its spectacular scenery, plant diversity and unique wildlife are guaranteed to leave delegates speechless.

Just north of Port Douglas at Mossman Gorge Centre, learn about the traditions of the Kuku Yalanji tribe and immerse yourself in the ancient secrets of the rainforest. A guided Dreamtime walk, team building activities through the gorge or a dinner by the river are sure to leave delegates with an emotional connection to the land.

A gondola ride above the canopy aboard Skyrail Rainforest Cableway just north of Cairns provides an appreciation of the diversity this ecosystem offers. With stops along the way to explore the rainforest and enjoy guided boardwalk tours, delegates are exposed to the rainforest from above and below.
