To help maximize your time in Australia’s far north, here are a few suggestions for your self-drive itinerary put together by the team at Webcarhire:

Cairns Car Hire Drive Suggestions:

• Easy pick up is available from off-airport and airport car hire locations in Cairns. Simply choose what is more convenient for you. You may like to hire a larger vehicle to take you to the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest though it’s important to note, one road in the rainforest is restricted to 4WD’s only.

• Take the 2.5 hour drive south from Cairns to Mission Beach. With over 14km of sandy beach, you’ll fall in love with this untouched paradise. Mission Beach offers an excellent selection of restaurants, accommodation, gift shops and local artist galleries. And for those who seek adventure, you won’t be able to resist tandem sky diving.

• Go on a scenic tour on the world’ longest gondola cableway. The Skyrail Rainforest cableway takes you from Smithfield (Caravonica Lakes) to Kuranda, through Cairns’ tropical region. Skyrail’s Caravonica Terminal is located 15 minutes north of Cairns city. Make a reservation to avoid disappointment.

• Follow the Cook Highway north of Cairns to reach the Daintree Village. Along the way, stop at the many look outs that offer perfect views from Queensland’s coastal line. As you drive through the Daintree Rainforest, drive safely and carefully paying particular attention to signs that warn of crossing wildlife.

• Experience the Great Barrier Reef from anywhere along its 3000km coastal stretch. Many tourists take their Cairns car hire on a one hour drive north to Port Douglas. The popular coast spot is home to some of Australia’s most exclusive resorts and hotels. Get right up close to the Great Barrier Reef with dedicated scuba diving and snorkelling locations around Port Douglas.
