Cruise to Port Douglas and you’ll find a miraculous blend of coral reefs and subtropical rainforest, which means it’s an easy destination to find fun things to do in nature.

About Port Douglas
Port Douglas is a small coastal resort town in Far North Queensland, approximately 60 km north of Cairns, situated where the Great Barrier Reef meets the Daintree Rainforest — two UNESCO World Heritage areas. It serves as a popular shore excursion destination from cruise ships calling at Cairns.
Agincourt Reef and the Outer Barrier Reef are the premier draw, reached in about 90 minutes by fast catamaran from the marina. Dive operators based at the marina include Blue Dive and Scuba IQ. The Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation, and Mossman Gorge are classic half or full-day road trips. The Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary is ideal for families.
