Tropics & Great Barrier Reef - Port Douglas, Queensland
Style:Tropical Paradise
Far North Queensland has a style all of its own. The laid-back nature of the locals is infectious and you’ll soon be relaxing with a beer under the swirling fans in the local pub enjoying this tropical oasis.
The drive from Cairns to Port Douglas must be one of the finest in Australia. The one hour scenic coastal drive north, bends & winds hugging the coast and making you feel like a Formula 1 driver.
Warm, balmy days are best spent exploring the region with a plethora of tours, attractions & activities. Sultry nights take on a sophisticated edge with outstanding dining experiences all within a village atmosphere. Macrossan Street is lined with art galleries, boutiques and restaurants where alfresco dining can be enjoyed all year round.
Spoilt for choice, this is the only destination on earth where two world heritage listed gems exist – the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest of Cape Tribulation and Daintree.
