Port Douglas Holidays

Welcome to Port Douglas

The quintessential resort town, Port Douglas was made for pure relaxation among the tropics. Just one hour north of Cairns, Port Douglas is home to luxury resorts, world-class golf courses, award-winning and indulgent day spas. Yet another gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and incredible Daintree Rainforest, Port Douglas is the perfect destination for your Tropical North Queensland holiday.

Experience the reef with tours departing daily to Agincourt Reef, the Low Isles coral cay, and the vibrant Outer Reef. From sailing, cruising and water sports to experiences from high above, Port Douglas offers plenty of opportunities to snorkel, dive, fly and swim in this UNESCO World Heritage wonder. Breathtakingly vibrant, the coral reef is alive with tropical fish turtles, and marine life, plus a very friendly wrasse named Wally.

With Mossman Gorge only 20 minutes from this Port Douglas, head out to explore the lush expanse of rainforest nearby or hop a tour to wander the ancient wonders of the Daintree. The oldest rainforest in the world and largest within Australia, The Daintree is home to incredible biodiversity from vines, trees, figs and ferns to birds, rainforest mammals and the elusive cassowary. Take the historic train up to and Kuranda, passing waterfalls and wonders like the Barron Falls on the way. Float above the canopy in the Skyrail cable cars and witness the verdant expanse from above.

Relax with sundowners and decadent dining after a day of shopping along the lively Macrossan Street. Discover the wildlife of the tropics at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures and walk with a Kuku Yalanji guide through Mossman Gorge to learn about the traditional owners of the land and the Dreamtime. With so many options to explore this beautiful part of the world and to kick back and relax on world-renowned beaches, a holiday in Port Douglas is just what the doctor ordered.
