🇦🇺 4D3N Cairns Itinerary: Reef, Rainforest & Relaxation 🌊🌴

✈️ Escaping Sydney's rain for Cairns' sunshine with my parents—here's how we balanced adventure & accessibility! 🌴 Day 1: Coastal Chill 📍 Palm Cove Nu Nu Restaurant: Brunch under palm trees (📸 prime photo spot!) Cairns Botanic Gardens: Easy trails for parents + exotic plants. Esplanade Boardwalk: Free lagoon swim + night market snacks. 🍽️ Dinner Tip: Try Dundee's Restaurant for reef-to-table seafood! 🐠 Day 2: Evolution Reef Cruise Why We Chose It: High-quality coral (though no turtles—pick Sunlover for those!). Missed Semi-Sub: Wind cancellation 😢 but snorkeling still dazzled with parrotfish & clownfish. Parent Hack: Glass-bottom boat kept Mom engaged! 🏝️ Day 3: Green Island (Mixed Feelings) ✅ Turtles Galore: Spotted from the pier! ❌ Coral Disappointment: Mostly bleached—better for beginners/kids. 🛥️ Big Cat Perks: Glass boat + semi-sub for non-swimmers. 🦖 Day 4: Crocs & Markets Rusty's Market: Tropical fruit feast (🥭 mangosteens = must-try!). Port Douglas: Upscale vibe + St. Mary’s chapel (wedding-ready!). Hartley’s Crocodile Park: 50+ crocs, cassowaries, and feeding shows! 💡 Final Thoughts: ✔️ Cairns = easier logistics than Whitsundays for families. ✔️ Reef > Rainforest for older travelers. #CairnsWithParents #GreatBarrierReef #AccessibleTravel
