Planning Your Motorhome Hire In Cairns

Why Hire A Campervan In Cairns? 

Cairns is Australia’s laid-back city in the North of Queensland and is absolutely the best place for a tropical sun-filled holiday. You’ll find the most spectacular and unique natural attractions in Cairns, all of which are easily accessible with your motorhome rental. Uncover the secrets of the Daintree Rainforest, with its ancient trees and unique flora and fauna, then island-hop your way around the coast and visit Fitzroy Island and Green Island –  both accessible by ferry! Cairns is the place to be for sun-baked beaches and rainbow reefs, with Ellis Beach, Trinity Beach, and Kewarra Beach just a short drive away. Of course, you can’t miss Cape Tribulation and Queensland’s famous Great Barrier Reef either!

Your adventures along the coast will take you to iconic Palm Cove and Port Douglas – both less than an hour away from Cairns. Or, if you want to go more inland, you’ll definitely want to check out Atherton Tablelands, with its geological wonders including lily pad wetlands, sandstone caves, mossy palace ruins, and jaw-dropping waterfalls.

You’re bound to fall in love with the tropical seaside lifestyle in Cairns. So hire a motorhome and prepare to enjoy locally caught seafood with an array of cafés and refreshing ice-cream parlours all around!

When To Book A Motorhome In Cairns? 

The most popular time to visit Cairns is from June to November.

Cairns has two distinct seasons, wet and dry. During the wet season (December to April) you’ll experience hot weather and tropical rainfalls, making it the best time to visit the Daintree and Cape Tribulation, which will be bursting with life. Waterfalls will be gushing, and the Great Barrier Reef will have perfect swimming temperatures.

Cairns’ dry season from June to August is also popular, with warm sunny days and low humidity. It’s the perfect way to escape the cold winter weather of southern states like Victoria and Tasmania.

In terms of price, the best time to find cheap rental rates in Cairns is during the shoulder seasons including April, May, September and October when the temperatures are warm and the winds have dropped.
