Planning for your holidays can be difficult. That’s because there’s a lot of places you could travel to. And it’s hard to choose just one.
Just in Tropical North Queensland, you’ll never run out of tourist hubs and attractions to visit there. But if you’re looking for a place where you can stay and at the same time visit every other tourist spot that’s easily accessible, there’s one place that comes to mind: Palm Cove.
Palm Cove is a relaxing village that stretches along the coastline of Tropical North Queensland. It boasts great weather during summer, relaxing vibes, and its proximity to other attractions in this part of Queensland.
Below are only some of the attractions that you must visit if you’re flying to Palm Cove. These places are our top three, so we’re sure you’ll enjoy your visit there!
1. Of course, the Great Barrier Reef
Your summer holiday in Queensland will not be complete without visiting its biggest attraction: The Great Barrier Reef. The World Heritage site is literally a stone throw away from Palm Cove!
There’s a lot of things that you can do at the reef. You can go snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing, and so much more. Whether you’re a local or an international tourist, thousands of colourful fish and corals await you under the water!
So if we were you, we’ll bring our gears, and underwater cameras to capture every moment of it. But if you’re not comfortable underwater, you could still enjoy the beauty of the reef by observing the corals and fish from your glass-bottom boats.
2. The wilderness of Daintree National Park
This national park is probably older than your great grandfather. It’s the forefather of all rainforests in the world. It spans across the region of Cairns and nestles rich flora and fauna.
An ultimate Daintree National Park experience can mean two things. It’s either you’ll explore it from above or on the ground.
The Mossman Gorge tour of Back Country Bliss Adventures is one of the best routes that you could take. Mossman Gorge is part of the Daintree Rainforest. This tour allows you to marvel at the towering century-old trees and rare wildlife while weaving through the forest.
On the other hand, if you want a bird’s eye view of Daintree, you can hop on one of the weather-proof gondolas of the Skyrail Rainforest. Don’t worry, it’s safe. We tried it! Capture the majestic beauty of the rainforest with your phones as you fly over the towering trees of the forest.
3. Wildlife
In Daintree, you may not have the chance to interact with the animals. But don’t worry, there are other ways to meet our friendly neighbours from the wild.
If you want to meet Australia’s cute and furry icons, book a trip to the Koala Gardens. You can watch these funny creatures sleep, eat, or just play around their habitat. You can even take a photo with them. Just ask the staff nicely.
If you’re more of a bird person, then the Birdworld Kuranda is more of your vibe. This sanctuary protects over 60+ species of birds that just fly around the place.
Stop searching for the best place to spend your summer holidays or weekend getaways. Palm Cove is certainly what you’re looking for.
Whether you’re planning for a quick day trip or staying for a long time, Palm Cove is the place to be! You can book your stay at the iconic and award-winning Reef House Spa where you’ll experience the best accommodation ever.
By the way, they also offer reinvigorating massage services. Just drop by their spa area and have your muscles relaxed after every tour!
