Best Port Douglas Tours & Holidays 2025/2026

You won't need any convincing to visit this coastal town

Four Mile Beach, with its rainforest-fringed sand lined with swaying palm trees, has played a starring role in so many tourism commercials that it’s immediately recognisable but there is plenty more to see and do in Port Douglas. Go hiking through the rainforest, dine at world-class restaurants, cruise the Daintree River, see crocs up close, or swim with jewel-bright tropical fish on a snorkelling trip along the Great Barrier Reef. You can even take a trip to Mossman Gorge in the Daintree National Park - the oldest, continuously surviving rainforest on earth. Take a swim in natural watering holes or join a Kuku Yalanji guide for a walk through this special place to learn more about its creation stories and cultural significance.
