Finding the best time to travel to Cairns will depend on what you plan to do during your holiday.
Cairns seasons are characterised by two distinct periods: the wet season and the dry season. During the wet season, rainfall is highest, but diving conditions are also at their best. The dry season offers much better conditions for some adventure-seekers, particularly if you wish to go up in a hot-air balloon or do some hiking.
Whatever time you choose, you can rest assured Cairns will be stunning.
