Frequently asked questions

How much does a Cairns holiday package cost?
You can grab a holiday package to this popular destination on Expedia. However, how much your holiday to Cairns costs will depend on factors like your hotel choice, length of stay and season.
What are the cheapest months to go to Cairns?
If you’d like to book a cheap Cairns holiday package, consider planning a trip in April, May and September. You’ll typically find better prices on flights and accommodation during these quieter months — perfect for a budget-friendly break.
How many days is enough for Cairns?
We recommend planning a Cairns holiday for at least 3 days. This gives you time to visit popular sights such as St Monica’s Cathedral and Crystal Cascades & Lake Morris, and check out neighbourhoods like Cairns Central Business District and Cairns North. You might even be able to squeeze in a day trip (or two) beyond Cairns.
Is it worth booking a holiday package to Cairns?

Then apply a few filters, like “Guest rating” and “Property type,” to tailor the results to your exact style. You can also sort by “Package discount” and browse offers that come with big savings. If you don’t find the ideal Cairns package deal straight away, simply switch up your dates and search again. Keep in mind that deals are only available for a limited time, so book early and get your Cairns escape off to a flying start.
Is it cheaper to book a Cairns holiday as a package?
Expedia holiday packages are designed to help you keep more money in your pocket. Bundle your car rental, flight and hotel into one great-value price and you could save hundreds of dollars.
