August is Perfect for Whale Spotting

What beautiful weather we are having here in Cairns !! With low winds, low humidity and great fresh temperatures (18-28 degree's Celsius each day) there couldn't be a better time to visit the magnificent tropical north !! Diving visibility is above 20 metre's at the moment, awesome at both day and night diving! Whales are being spotted every day by a variety of vessels, but if you really want to guarantee yourself to see them,, do the new tour,,,,, For $80 (adult, & $50 per child), we can guarantee you to see whales (we have a spotter plane looking out for them and relaying location details to the boat). If something drastic occurred and you did not see whales,, wait for it,, we will get you another "Free" ticket to go tomorrow or the next day,, basically when ever fits in with your itinerary. Not bad value for an inspiring day watching these magnificent, beautiful and intelligent creatures ☻For those with children,,,, why not head up to the tablelands and watch the Australian Muster Experience..... As an opening special, they are offering all kids travel for free with each paying passenger and with self drivers including lunch starting price at $63,, be quick,, this special won't last long. Have an awesome week. Emma ☻

JUST RELEASED ***** JUST RELEASED ***** JUST RELEASED !!!!!

New Tour Just arrived in Cairns !! Whale Watching Tours will start on Wednesday the 22nd of July. Departing from Cairns at 9.30am & 1.30pm every day the vessel will take you out to spot the many whales that make their way up the east coast at this time of the year to beat the winter blues in our warm and sunny waters (current temperature in the water is 24 degrees celcius, 75-77 farenheit - nice! and its Winter !!) the vessel will have aerial support to guarantee you sightings of these magnificent creatures. Predominantly it is Humpback whales being spotted but we are still seeing the odd Minke whale also. Here's the best part, if you don't see whales on your day of choice, we will give you a free ticket to go on another day of your choice !! Cost is $80 per adult and $50 per child with family packages available upon request (call 40516220 or 0410208318 as I might be off whale spotting too :) Have a great weekend !!

Cairns Show Public Holiday

Today is the Cairns Show People's open day. Similar to a large country fair, the Cairns Show offers plenty for all different people,, from the animal shows to petting barns, to Show Bags packed full of goodies for small kids and big kids alike. (I will be buying the Darrell Lea Chocolate show bag - mmm Yum). Try your hand on a ride on the roller coaster or bumper cars, This year brings many new rides to excite and thrill. The Cairns show is held in the Show Grounds which border Mulgrave Road and Severin Street. Opening at 9.00am and closing at 9.00pm with a spectacular fireworks culmination at 8.30pm. If I may make a suggestion,, head over to the strawberry's and cream pavillion held inside the DeJarlais pavillion (inside showgrounds) to try some yummy locally grown tablelands fresh strawberry's and Dairy Farmers fresh cream - a hit with everyone!! You can catch a local bus or taxi from the centre of the mall in Cairns CBD that will take you to the showgrounds or if your feeling fit,,, perhaps a 30 minute walk from the Mall :)
Its a bit windy out on the reef at the moment with wind gusts reaching 20 knotts and upwards in some locations, make sure you ask if your pick of boats has a good location to head to on such a windy day, to avoid sea sickness and obtain best visibility!!

Have a Great Show Day All !!
