Enjoy an active lifestyle
Cairns is a great place to get outdoors and be active. There are a range of paths and cycle ways that allow you to explore this beautiful region at your own pace. Unless otherwise marked, the cycle ways are also walking paths.
We have some great off road tracks for cycling, but keep in mind when riding on the street that we all need to get along and share the road safely.
