Crystal Cascades
About 20km from Cairns, the Crystal Cascades are a series of beautiful waterfalls and pools. You will need a friendly local or a cab to get you there but it is worth the effort.

For more serious walkers, the trails throughout Mt Whitfield Conservation Park have several lookouts offering views of Cairns and Trinity Inlet, and there is a terrific mangrove boardwalk on Airport Ave, 200m before the airport.
