Discover Cairns&#39; natural beauty and cultural heritage on a&nbsp;half-day afternoon tour, followed by an indulgent dinner cruise to take in the stunning sunset.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Afternoon City &amp; Surrounds

&nbsp;

After getting collected from your accommodation, your afternoon begins by the water&#39;s edge at the Cairns Marlin Marina, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. It boasts first-class facilities and picturesque views over the water.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Next, it&#39;s on to&nbsp;St. Monica&#39;s Cathedral.&nbsp;This stunning Heritage-Listed cathedral, dedicated as a memorial to the Battle of the Coral Sea, houses 24 amazing stained-glass windows depicting the story of creation. They are reputably the largest themed stained-glass windows in the world.

&nbsp;

Join&nbsp;an exclusive tour with a dedicated museum guide to discover the Cairns Museum. They&#39;ll share stories about living in the tropics, the region&#39;s culture, sugar cane, railways, rainforests and reefs. Plus, you&#39;ll enjoy free re-admission to the Cairns Museum during your stay.

&nbsp;

Take a&nbsp;break and indulge in a&nbsp;delicious Devonshire Tea in the leafy suburb of Edge Hill.&nbsp;Once afternoon tea is done, stretch your legs with a wander through&nbsp;the Flecker Gardens in&nbsp;Cairns Botanic Gardens. It&#39;s renowned as one of the best exhibitions of tropical plants in Australia. Your guided tour will showcase key areas of the gardens, including the Conservatory and the Aboriginal Plant Use section.

&nbsp;

Then, have your camera at the ready as you visit a spectacular lookout with views over the city of Cairns and the Coral Sea before continuing to Lower Barron River Gorge National Park and Surprise Creek Falls.

&nbsp;

Finally, the tour heads further north to Palm Cove.&nbsp;Take a stroll along the jetty or beach&nbsp;of&nbsp;this picture-perfect location, fringed with coconut trees. Nestled behind the beach is the quiet seaside suburb, with its&nbsp;magnificent paperbark trees. Watch the sun get lower on the horizon&nbsp;before returning to your Cairns in time to board the&nbsp;Spirit of Cairns at 6:15 pm.

&nbsp;

Dinner Cruise

&nbsp;

As you step onboard the Spirit of Cairns,&nbsp;a 26-metre catamaran,&nbsp;enjoy a welcome drink and canapes. Then, it&#39;s 2 hrs 30 min of calm water cruising with entertainment, a delicious 3-course dinner and fabulous views, including sunset over the rainforest-clad mountains (depending on the time of year).

&nbsp;

Spirit of Cairns takes you on a journey deep into the interior of Trinity Inlet and its winding tributaries. The cruise passes along Cairns&#39; waterfront and Esplanade precinct, delivering panoramic views of the twinkling night lights of this port city.

&nbsp;

Thursday and Friday departures have a&nbsp;set dinner menu, while&nbsp;Saturday to Wednesday is a delicious buffet with a wide range of hot and cold dishes, fresh seafood and delicious local produce. The vessel is also&nbsp;fully licensed, selling a range of beverages, from champagne or local beer to cocktails.&nbsp;
