Locals deals: Tropic Now's guide on to things to do, eat, drink and experience at a discount

The Cairns COVID-19 lockdown may have ended, but local tourism and hospitality businesses are still doing it tough, with a downturn in domestic visitors because of continuing stay-at-home orders down south. 

On the upside, that means discounts for locals!

Tropic Now has investigated the best offers and businesses to support.

There's everything from cheeky getaways to day trips, spa treatments and food.
