Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, the oldest Rainforest in the world, the Cairns Tablelands and the iconic Aussie Outback. With easy access to these UNESCO World Heritage sites on our doorstep, the Cairns region is the perfect one stop destination for domestic and international students and groups who want to learn, contribute and make a positive environmental impact on the world.
"I can’t speak more highly of your marine biologists. I joined the guided tour with my students with your Marine Biologist Alistair. He is a rock star, very knowledgeable and engaging."
- Mr Matthew Finster, Science Department, Trinity Bay High School
