Visit Cairns - Cairns in April

Things to Do in April.

The wet season's usually over and done with and visitors to Cairns have a full range of fun in the sun activities to choose from. This is a great time of year to checkout some of the World Heritage listed rainforests surrounding Cairns. You could take the "Skyrail and Train" to Kuranda for a great view of the Barron Falls, which will still have plenty of water coming over them. A slightly more adventurous option might be "Jungle Surfing", think of it as a educational ropes course through the rainforest. April's also a great month to visit the Great Barrier Reef. Maybe visit the Agincourt Ribbon Reefs with "Quicksilver Cruises" for a cruise the whole family's guaranteed to love. For the younger, or the young at heart, "Passions of Paradise" run a quality cruise to Michaelmas Cay and Paradise Reef, this is a great trip to go snorkelling or try an introductory dive on.

Kuranda Train & Skyrail - from $83
Kuranda Village is a quaint little town located at the top of the mountain range just behind Cairns. Kuranda is most famous because of its means of getting there. The Kuranda Scenic Train winds its way in an hour and a half journey up the mountain to Kuranda, and Skyrail is a cable car ride that takes at least one hour to get there, travelling above world heritage listed rainforest.

Quicksilver Reef Crise - from $222

What is the Weather like in Cairns in April?

April's the beginning of our "dry" season here in Cairns, and can be one of the better months to visit. Although there is a small chance of some rain the monsoon should be finished for the year. The rainforest and mountains will be a luscious green and the creeks, rivers and waterfalls will still be flowing well. It's still very warm in April, both day and night, although you may want to pack for the surprise cooler night or morning.
