What Haqqi Tours arranges in Cairns
In Cairns the site currently lists 11 day tours, 12 private airport transfers, 11 flight tickets, 3 train tickets and 4 ferry tickets. Day tours include Barron River Half-Day White-Water Rafting Cairns, Rainforest River Tubing Adventure from Cairns, Outer Great Barrier Reef Cruise with Helicopter Flight Cairns and Daintree Rainforest and Mossman Gorge Day Tour from Cairns. Airport transfers run from Cairns Airport to hotels and districts across the city.
Everything on this page is run or confirmed by Haqqi Tours, not resold: the same desk that confirms your airport car also knows the guide who will meet you and the ticket that was booked in your name.
Getting to Cairns: the airports
Cairns Airport (CNS) is about 7 km north of the city centre and the Esplanade; Palm Cove is about 25 km, Port Douglas about 65 km, Kuranda about 28 km, Cape Tribulation about 130 km and Mission Beach about two hours by road.
A shuttle bus and taxis link the airport with the city and the Northern Beaches, and the city centre is walkable; a private car is simpler for Palm Cove and Port Douglas, an early reef-boat departure, a family with luggage, or a day to the Daintree, Kuranda or the Tablelands where public transport is limited.
Where to stay in Cairns
The areas travellers ask us about most: Reef Fleet Terminal and Marlin Marina, Trinity Beach and the Northern Beaches, Palm Cove, Port Douglas, Kuranda and Atherton Tablelands.
Wherever you stay, the airport transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door, and tours collect you from the hotel; tell the desk the hotel name and everything is planned around it.
What to see in Cairns
The places most visitors come for: Mossman Gorge, Esplanade Lagoon and the night markets, Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, the Atherton Tablelands waterfalls, Barron Gorge, the Great Barrier Reef by boat or seaplane and Green Island and Fitzroy Island.
Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Barron River Half-Day White-Water Rafting Cairns, Rainforest River Tubing Adventure from Cairns and Outer Great Barrier Reef Cruise with Helicopter Flight Cairns say exactly what each includes.
What to eat in Cairns
Worth trying: mud crab, Queensland prawns, tropical fruit such as mango, lychee and custard apple, Tablelands coffee and tea and macadamia nuts. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.
When to go
June to October is the dry, cooler season and the best time for the reef and rainforest; November to April is hot and humid with rain, cyclone risk and stinger season; the wettest months are January to March, when some roads can flood.
Good to know before you arrive
Give us your flight number and the reef or tour departure time; many reef boats leave around 08:00 to 09:00 and hotels hold pickup slots early, so plan the airport run around your first tour, and carry sun protection, insect repellent and a light rain jacket.
Our WhatsApp desk answers day and night in Arabic and English, confirms each booking in writing and stays reachable for the whole trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
What can I book in Cairns with Haqqi Tours?
Day tours, private airport transfers, flight tickets, train tickets and ferry tickets, including Barron River Half-Day White-Water Rafting Cairns, Rainforest River Tubing Adventure from Cairns and Outer Great Barrier Reef Cruise with Helicopter Flight Cairns. Each has its own page, and the WhatsApp desk combines any of them into one plan with one written price.
How do I get from the airport to my hotel in Cairns?
Cairns Airport (CNS) is about 7 km north of the city centre and the Esplanade; Palm Cove is about 25 km, Port Douglas about 65 km, Kuranda about 28 km, Cape Tribulation about 130 km and Mission Beach about two hours by road. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.
Is there public transport from the airport to Cairns?
A shuttle bus and taxis link the airport with the city and the Northern Beaches, and the city centre is walkable; a private car is simpler for Palm Cove and Port Douglas, an early reef-boat departure, a family with luggage, or a day to the Daintree, Kuranda or the Tablelands where public transport is limited. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.
Which tours are available in Cairns?
Currently 11: Barron River Half-Day White-Water Rafting Cairns, Rainforest River Tubing Adventure from Cairns, Outer Great Barrier Reef Cruise with Helicopter Flight Cairns, Daintree Rainforest and Mossman Gorge Day Tour from Cairns and Great Barrier Reef Snorkelling Cruise by Catamaran Cairns. Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.
Are the tours private or in a group?
Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.
How many days do I need in Cairns?
Two to three days cover Mossman Gorge, Esplanade Lagoon and the night markets and Hartley's Crocodile Adventures at an easy pace; more if you add a day trip. The desk builds the day-by-day plan around your dates.
When is the best time to visit Cairns?
June to October is the dry, cooler season and the best time for the reef and rainforest; November to April is hot and humid with rain, cyclone risk and stinger season; the wettest months are January to March, when some roads can flood.
Where should I stay in Cairns?
The areas guests choose most are Kuranda, Atherton Tablelands, Mission Beach and The Esplanade and city centre. The airport transfer and the tours go to any of them at the same price.
How do I book?
Fill in the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.
Are the prices fixed?
Yes - every price is agreed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel and does not change on the day.
Do the drivers and guides speak Arabic or English?
It depends on the city and the day, so we do not promise a particular language; tell us your preference and we do our best. The WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.
Can I change or cancel a booking in Cairns?
Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on the product and on how close to the date the change comes; the desk states them before you pay.
