Why GuestTours

The reef is incredible.
Finding the right tour shouldn't be so hard.

When you're visiting the Cairns region, the amount of tours and brochures can be overwhelming. You need insider information — real recommendations from locals who know the reef, the rainforest and the islands better than anyone.

Not every tour is suitable for every group or occasion. A family with young kids will need something very different compared to a group of friends who want to dive all day.

That's why we don't just list tours — we've reviewed them all and awarded only the best ones. Think of it as a "Best in Class" guide.

Every Booking
Plants a Mangrove

For every guest who books through GuestTours, we plant a mangrove tree in Far North Queensland.

Mangroves protect our coastlines, support marine life, and store up to five times more carbon than tropical forests. Your trip helps keep the reef healthy for the next generation.

Not Everything in FNQ Needs a Ticket

We've listed the best free walks, lookouts and waterfalls in the Cairns and Port Douglas area — the spots locals send their own family to.

A sunrise hike through the Daintree, a swim at Josephine Falls, watching the sunset over Trinity Inlet — some of the best experiences here cost nothing at all.

About Us

We're the Locals

Airbnb hosts, divers, tour guides, fishermen — and everything in between. The Tropical North is full of tours, but genuine insider knowledge has become hard to find.
