Mist rolling through the Daintree Rainforest and finding a hidden waterfall felt like something out of a movie made just for the two of us.
Two separate reef outings in one trip meant we were not rushed, the second dive felt calmer and more personal than the first.
The Daintree River cruise was a brilliant change from all our underwater time, drifting slowly while the guide pointed out crocodiles sunning on the muddy banks. My husband, who'd been all about the reef, admitted the river might have been his favourite thing.
As a couples destination Cairns surprised us, we expected more of a family crowd but it balanced adventure and romance well.
We'd half expected Cairns to be overrun with families but it balanced adventure and romance beautifully. Croc spotting on the Daintree, two mornings on the reef and long slow dinners by the waterfront, eight nights that felt made for newlyweds.
Daintree River cruise spotting crocodiles was a nice contrast to all the underwater time.
