Port Douglas is the natural place to holiday in Australia.

Visitors to this family-friendly, laid-back destination can dive & snorkel over the reef, walk through the rainforest or just relax on one of the many beautiful beaches the area has to offer.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is the largest protected marine area in the world at 345,500km in area. At 140 million years old, the Daintree National Park is the oldest tropical rainforest on earth.

From Port Douglas it's just a small step to the magical underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. Marine biologists and snorkelling guides ensure you get the most out of your reef experience.

The Daintree Rainforest is one of Australia's most spectacular regions - "where the rainforest meets the reef".

The Daintree River ferry marks the beginning of this ancient land. From here the drive north to Cape Tribulation offers stunning scenic lookouts, emerald forests, and deep blue streams.
