Cairns Travel Directions

A mixture of backpacker hostels, five star resorts and apartments are all located together with many having views from most windows out to the mountain ranges past where the Hot air balloon rides take off. When booking your Hot air balloon ride all booking agents will require the name of your hotel, resort, luxury apartment or backpackers hostel as a very organised system of coach transfers to the launch sites where all Hot air balloon rides take off, services all of the port douglas accommodation and Cairns accommodation.
