Tours

There are literally hundreds of tours to choose from when you make Cairns your base for exploring the Great Barrier Reef, the Cairns Highlands and our World Heritage listed rainforests.  Making the right choices at the right price will add immeasureably to your enjoyment  This is where we can be of great help to you.  Pat has arranged many thousands of tours for our guests during the last thirteen years and you will find her advice and guidance invaluable.  We can make all booking arrangements and even arrange for most tour operators to pick you up at our front door.

We've travelled widely and are convinced that there are more natural wonders to see and enjoy in the Cairns' area than in any other single location on earth.

These few photos can only give you a slight idea......

Cape Tribulation in the Daintree

Rainforest.  Our favourite Daintree tour company has taken hundreds of Lilybank guests to this world heritage listed area.

Our best morning in North Queensland was the day Pat & I floated around in a hot air balloon - followed by a champagne breakfast!

Reef Magic Cruises - Another real  favourite with Lilybank guests - fast and comfortable with a pontoon on Moore Reef.

Norman Reef  - one of the many reefs off Cairns.

Ocean Spirit Cruises - This vessel even has a semi- submersible for those that want to see the reef without getting their hair wet.  And there is easy snorkelling right off the cay in the background. (Michaelmas Cay out from Cairns.)

Green Island and its surrounding reef - 17 kilometers out from Cairns.

Skyrail, winner of Australian National Tourism awards year after year and a must do.   Virtually every Lilybank guest has taken this trip combined with the Kuranda Scenic Train and enjoyed every moment of it.

Wherever you go in Tropical North Queensland there's always something more to see.
