Why it's worth checking out
The Red Arrow Circuit Lookout sits on Collins Avenue in Whitfield, near the Cairns Botanic Gardens and Edge Hill in tropical Far North Queensland. With 181 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a rewarding rainforest walk with lovely views — the popular Red Arrow Circuit track climbs through lush rainforest to lookouts over Cairns and the coast, a genuine local favourite for walkers and view-seekers, right by the Botanic Gardens. It's a lovely way to get out into nature close to the city.
Trails have changing conditions, can be steep and are warm in the tropics, so wear proper footwear, take water and check current conditions before you head out. Otherwise it's a free, rewarding walk to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection and take your time at the top.
Spot Score
The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.6 from 181 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
