Why you’ll love hiring a campervan/motorhome while in Cairns

A trip to Cairns should be about taking the pace down a notch and soaking in the breathtaking natural beauty of the region. When you hire a campervan/motorhome for your Cairns adventure, you’re granted the freedom to throw the schedule out the window and explore at your own pace without sacrificing on luxury.

With all the essentials in tow, there’s no need to fork out for costly accommodation and you can forget about having to set up camp and unpacking and repacking at each destination— simply pull into a campsite when you’re ready and you’re all set to retire for the evening.

Once you’ve experienced the freedom and flexibility of getting behind the wheel and exploring to your hearts’ content, you’ll find it hard to holiday any other way.

Best places to explore around Cairns

Cairns is home to some truly spectacular and diverse natural attractions, but if you don’t have the time to see everything, you may feel a little hard-pressed to decide where you would most like to explore. To help you make the most of your motorhome adventure, here are a few favourites that are sure to please:

The beach and the reef: You can make the most of the beautiful sandy beaches, crystal blue waters and easy reef access without having to leave Cairns, but if you’re keen, head north to Palm Cove or Port Douglas to find a perfect seaside escape.

Rainforests and waterfalls: While the Daintree Rainforest is the main showstopper, if you’d prefer not to venture too far from Cairns, Kuranda and Barron Falls are a must for a tropical rainforest experience. Crystal Cascades is within very easy reach of Cairns, with waterfalls and swimming holes that are sure to impress. Josephine Falls and Babinda Boulders are also well worth a visit.

Island escape: While you’re in Cairns, make sure you jump on a ferry to sample the natural beauty and range of activities on offer at Fitzroy Island or Green Island.

Inland adventure: The Atherton Tablelands have plenty to offer—from the beautiful Millaa Millaa Falls and the picturesque Yungaburra which is home to the impressive Curtain Fig Tree and Crater Lakes National Park, to the outback town of Chillagoe, you’ll love discovering this corner of the world.

Cairns is one of the most popular places in Australia to kick off an unforgettable road trip. With easy access to the Daintree Rainforest, Great Barrier Reef, Atherton Tablelands, and the tropical beauty of Far North Queensland, it’s the ideal starting point for your next open-road escape.

Our Cairns motorhome hire branch is ready to set you up with everything you need to travel comfortably and confidently—whether you’re heading north toward Cape Tribulation or planning a one-way trip to another Let’s Go branch location around the country.
