Kick Off Your Aussie Road Trip with Campervan Hire Cairns

The world-renowned Great Barrier Reef surrounds the Tropical Far North. No trip to Cairns would be complete without an adventure out to the reef. With its abundance of marine life and vast coral gardens, it truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Cairns is not only the Gateway to the reef but also the gateway to the Far North’s other UNESCO World Heritage site, the beautiful lush Daintree rainforest. This is the only place in the world where you can find two world heritage areas side by side. Therefore It's great that there's Spaceships campervan hire in Cairns. You'll be starting your Australian road trip in no time.

Why is Cairns the perfect start?

The city itself is a laid-back, relaxed place where the locals are never in a hurry and always keen for a chat or a quiet ‘coldie’ in the ‘arvo’. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars to keep you fuelled up and ready to go for your next adventure, which could be one of the many adrenaline-pumping activities nearby like white water rafting, bungy jumping, skydiving, hot air ballooning, zip-lining, diving, or hanging with some crocodiles. Also, don’t forget for some real adventure, a must-do is to hit the Woolshed for a dance on the tables!

Fill in a more relaxed day with a walk along the boardwalk and cool off with a swim at the fantastic lagoon on the Esplanade, followed by finding a bargain at the vibrant night markets.

Cairns has something for everyone in this tropical paradise!

See where the road will take you from Cairns

Cairns is calling your name. No, we're not talking about what you can do & see in Cairns. Let's focus on where you can go when you are ready to really leave Cairns behind. It's time to blast off to explore the outer space of Australia.

Head south towards Townsville and the Whitsundays

When you steer your Spaceships southward it will lead you to the stunning landscapes of Queensland. Mission Beach is a laid-back, tropical paradise where the rainforest meets the sea. Continue south for even more amazing scenery. First, you'll encounter Townsville, the gateway to the magnetic Magnetic Island.

And of course the Whitsundays. Never forget about or skip the Whitsundays, a must-see when visiting Australia. This collection of 74 islands offers pristine beaches and amazing snorkelling opportunities.

North from Cairns: unlock an amazing adventure

Cairns is your key to the north, acting as a springboard to the mystical landscapes of the Cape York Peninsula or the underrated beauty of the Atherton Tablelands. Drive north to experience the world's oldest tropical rainforest, The Daintree. This ancient forest is a biodiversity hotspot and offers some of the most stunning scenery in Australia. Continue north to Cape Tribulation, where the rainforest literally meets the reef. This is the only place in the world where two UNESCO World Heritage sites touch! With Cairns as your starting point, there's a rich tapestry of experiences just a drive away.

Take the inland route to the Atherton Tablelands

Or if you've seen enough of the coastal area, simply head inland. Campervan hire in Cairns offers amazing things to do & see in every direction. The inland route will take you to the Atherton Tablelands, a mixture of lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and volcanic crater lakes. This is just perfect for every nature lover and definitely worth a few snaps on social media. Do it for The Gram! This area is also rich in local produce, so it’s a great opportunity to stock up on more fresh goods for your trip. Your Spaceships campervan comes with a fridge and plenty of storage so keep the local foods coming. Your tastebuds will thank you.

Looking for indigenous culture? The Laura region has it all!

For a cultural twist to your road trip, head to the Laura region, renowned for its Aboriginal rock art galleries. This is one of the best places in Australia to gain insights into indigenous culture and history.
