When to visit

Cairns’ weather is one of the best things about this stunning tropical destination, and there are benefits to visiting any time of the year. Different to Australia’s southern regions, Queensland’s north has only two seasons: a summer season and a dry season.

The dry season boasts great weather and even migrating whales. The summer season is characterised by tropical weather, including summer showers.

High season: Dry season (May to October)
Low season: Summer season (November to April)
Don’t miss: Taking a dip with dwarf minke whales (June and July)
