Recommended Travel Adaptor for Cairns
We’ve tested countless travel adaptors on the road. After checking safety, durability, charging speed and value, this one stood out. It’s the adaptor we recommend.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Cairns is usually part of an itinerary that also includes New Zealand and Fiji. The region mostly shares plug standards, but it’s still smart to confirm.
Sockets in Cairns
The plug types you’ll find in Cairns are Type I plugs and sockets.
Type I
Type I sockets have two flat angled pins and sometimes a vertical earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type I sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You don’t need to worry about a converter in Cairns; the voltage is virtually identical to what we use in the UK.
Check the mains rating on your device before travelling. A mark of ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means it’ll work abroad without any converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling light doesn’t mean leaving the essentials behind. A luggage scale is a lifesaver at check-in, a power bank makes sure your gadgets are always ready, and packing cubes keep everything neat and easy to find. We’ve used them on countless trips, and they’ve earned their spot in our bags every time.
