Yorkeys Knob Cruises

Yorkeys Knob Cruise Port

• For a fun way to get around and see the sights, try it on horseback. Blazing Saddles Adventures is run by cheerful, knowledgeable guides on a working sugar cane farm. If horses are too slow for your high-speed lifestyle, you can opt instead for the quad bike tour where you can zip around and get covered in good, clean mud.
   
• Yorkeys Knob Beach is not only a palm tree-ringed piece of heaven for swimmers and snorkelers, but it's also a world-class kitesurfing destination. There are areas patrolled by lifeguards, as well as changing/restroom facilities; nets are in place to keep the jellyfish at bay.
   
• To get off land and do some fishing, diving, or dolphin and whale watching, take advantage of the many area boat charters. Outfits such as Aroona Luxury Boat Charters take you out to the Great Barrier Reef in style on either day or multi-day long trips.
   
• Head south just over ten miles to Cairns, where you can enjoy an incredible rainforest experience. The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway lets you glide above the rainforest canopy and deep within; combine this with the Kuranda Wildlife Experience to visit the Kuranda Koala Gardens, Birdworld, and Australian Butterfly Sanctuary.
