I would recommend flying in from Perth, starting in Broome with a few days and then heading into the Kimberley. A must do in Broome is the cable beach sunset camel ride, there are two operators that do a very similar walk. Try to time it around the low tide so you have beautiful reflections whilst walking on wet sand. #RoadTrip ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6130646/61876d02-e7d1-49d1-abeb-bdc5663e0d3b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) Photo by Lauren Bath # Search Scuba Diving in Northern Australia - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__price_find.svg) ### Change your mind Book hotels with free cancellation - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__deals.svg) ### Treat yourself Save instantly and earn perks with One Key [Learn about One Key](https://www.expedia.co.uk/welcome-one-key) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__bed.svg) ### Be picky Search almost a million properties worldwide ## Check availability on Northern Australia Scuba Diving Tonight [9 Jan - 10 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=6208895&startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-10&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Tomorrow [10 Jan - 11 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=6208895&startDate=2026-01-10&endDate=2026-01-11&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) This weekend [9 Jan - 11 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=6208895&startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-11&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Next weekend [16 Jan - 18 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=6208895&startDate=2026-01-16&endDate=2026-01-18&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) ## Our top choices for Northern Australia hotels with on-site scuba diving ![Suite | Balcony view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2660000/2650800/2650713/a8903305.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Suite | Living area | TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2660000/2650800/2650713/a0487fc5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Lunch and dinner served, local cuisine](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2660000/2650800/2650713/ff974b3a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![View from property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2660000/2650800/2650713/b924af49.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Airlie Beach Hotel [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Airlie-Beach-Hotel.h2650713.Hotel-Information) Airlie Beach 8.8/10 Excellent (1002) "Great Hotel , great location " ![Canada](https://a.travel-assets.com/egds/marks/flags/ca.svg) Adrian £111 includes taxes & fees 18 Jan - 19 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Airlie-Beach-Hotel.h2650713.Hotel-Information) ![View from room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/16100/16032/c088688e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Point of interest](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/16100/16032/b5ea0d57.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/16100/16032/7a21daa8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Point of interest](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/16100/16032/e05e0fef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Marina.h16032.Hotel-Information) Cairns Central Business District 8.8/10 Excellent (1003) "Great location and a great hotel " ![United States](https://a.travel-assets.com/egds/marks/flags/us.svg) Gustavo £113 includes taxes & fees 27 Jan - 28 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Marina.h16032.Hotel-Information) ![Hilton Premier Suite | Balcony](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/1300/1233/7475abd3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Lobby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/1300/1233/78f3da2a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Point of interest](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/1300/1233/a8178138.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/1300/1233/2f4a9bc6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hilton Cairns [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Hilton-Cairns.h1233.Hotel-Information) Cairns Central Business District 9.0/10 Wonderful (1001) "Courteous staff and excellent amenities" ![Australia](https://a.travel-assets.com/egds/marks/flags/au.svg) Mohamed £102 includes taxes & fees 28 Jan - 29 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Hilton-Cairns.h1233.Hotel-Information) ![4 outdoor pools, pool umbrellas, pool loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1660000/1654000/1653902/7c801b2e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Breakfast, lunch, dinner served;
