Hostels in Cairns for Groups

Cairns is a popular base for groups exploring tropical North Queensland, with easy access to the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest and the beaches around Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. Group-friendly hostels in Cairns offer affordable accommodation for backpackers, school groups, sports teams and organised tours, often within walking distance of the city centre and waterfront.

Choose from large dormitories, private group rooms and self-contained accommodation, with many hostels offering communal kitchens, swimming pools, social areas and space for group meals. Some properties can also help arrange reef trips, rainforest tours, airport transfers and activities such as white-water rafting, diving and snorkelling.
