If you only have a short amount of time in Cairns, half day tours can provide
you with many different things to do in half the time. Perhaps you have a
flight out of Cairns in the afternoon, or maybe you just want to go to bed early
after too much partying, whatever the reason, these pages will find a tour just
for you.
There are some
great small coach tours below that allow you to see the attractions like
Wild World's Tropical Zoo, Hartley's Creek crocodile shows, Tjapukai By
Night or maybe a run out to Palm Cove beach - great value if you do not have
any transport and extremely flexible with the timetable.

Golf
Tours
We can tell you that Cairns has some of THE most
beautiful courses you could find anywhere. Murray, your host who runs these tour is very
lucky as he gets gets to play golf every day.
We have played on a few courses in Cairns but the one's we like the most are Half Moon Bay
and Paradise Palms. Half Moon Bay is a great course for any kind of
player, even hackers like us, but Paradise Palms is a championship course.
It is easy to lose your balls at Paradise Palms, usually in one of the 6
lakes or the tropical gardens.
Tours depart daily.

Cairns.

are usually missed
by a lot of visitors. My Town Tours visits places like The Royal Flying
Doctor's Centre, the Flecker Botanical gardens and
a beautiful view over Cairns from the Copperlode Dam Road. You'll also

it's buildings and its industries. This tour lasts around 2.5 hours and
includes pick up and drop off at your accommodation
