For land-based outdoor adventures in Cairns, such as hiking in the Daintree Rainforest or exploring the Atherton Tablelands, the best time to visit is during the dry season from June to October, when temperatures are milder and rain is less frequent. Activities like mountain biking and zip-lining are also popular during this period, while the wet season from November to May can bring heavy rainfall, suitable for those looking to experience lush landscapes but less ideal for outdoor excursions. Many resorts in Cairns offer packages that include guided tours and outdoor activities tailored to the weather conditions.
