Cairns & Great Barrier Reef

Cairns & Great Barrier Reef

Cairns, situated in the Tropical North Queensland region, is a direct flight from all major Australian cities and an international gateway from Asia and Europe. This unique region is a natural for events – the perfect combination of stunning natural environment supported by extensive and sophisticated infrastructure.

From five-star resorts, to your own island hideaway or rainforest retreat, the areas of Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas and beyond cater for events limited only by your imagination. Exclusive dinners, adrenalin-charged team building activities and meeting the locals are all a daily occurrence in the only place on earth where two world heritage regions meet.

Cairns is one of the major stepping-off points to The Great Barrier Reef, and there are countless ways to experience it.

A day’s snorkelling will awaken every sense as delegates discover an underwater world of colour and life. A flight over the reef will give the word ‘awesome’ its true meaning.  A Scuba dive will challenge the adventurous and reward them with face to face contact with reef sharks, turtles and fish of infinite size and variety. Who knew fish have personalities?

The spectacular Daintree rainforest and Cape Tribulation provide endless opportunities  for incentive programs. Soar over the oldest rainforest on earth on  a flying fox, navigate  your way through in your own private car rally  or create your  own private  candlelit dining room and experience the mysteries of this ancient  land.

Nothing is beyond reach and no challenge is too difficult. Ingenuity and innovation is what built this region, and a deep connection and respect for the natural environment makes the local people eager to share it.
