Cairns Hipster and Street Art Walking Tour

13 Reviews

1 hour 30 minutes

Overview

This guided walking tour gives you a different look at Cairns, away from the standard sightseeing circuit. Instead of focusing on the usual attractions, it takes you through hidden laneways and creative pockets of the city to see large-scale murals and learn about the local artists behind them. You’ll also get a feel for Cairns’ café, boutique and small-business scene, so it suits travellers who like seeing a city’s personality rather than just ticking off landmarks.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

If you’ve only got a short time in Cairns, this is an easy way to get beyond the obvious tourist spots without needing to plan your own route. It’s a social, low-effort option that mixes local culture with practical city exploring, and the street art gives you plenty to look at without locking you into a big-ticket tour. At just 90 minutes, it works well if you want something interesting in between reef trips, day tours or travel days.

What to expect

Over around 1.5 hours, you’ll walk through central Cairns with an experienced guide, stopping at mural-filled laneways and urban spaces where street art has reshaped the look of the area. Along the way, your guide shares background on the artists and the stories behind the works, while also pointing out cafés, boutique stores and creative hubs that add to the neighbourhood’s laid-back feel. The tour is wheelchair accessible, suitable for all fitness levels, and manageable for prams and strollers.
