Port Douglas Tropical Discovery
- Duration
- 5 Days
- Prices From:
- US$ 735
MODERATE | TAILOR-MADE: Located on beautiful Four Mile Beach, Port Douglas offers a “village by the sea” atmosphere. Enjoy day trips to the Great Barrier Reef and Cape Tribulation while staying in Port Douglas.
The resort town of Port Douglas is your ideal jump-off point to explore the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree on this 5 day getaway.
Travel to the very edge of the Great Barrier Reef where you can snorkel, dive, or stay dry in an underwater observatory or semi-submersible craft to meet some of the 1200 species of fish and 500 species of coral that call this magical place home. Return to Port Douglas to spend a full day enjoying the village feel of this resort town.
The name ‘Cape Tribulation’ might seem ironic as you immerse yourself in its tranquil rainforest (actually, explorer James Cook christened it after his ship was damaged attempting to pass). A 4WD tour takes you off the beaten track to sights such as Mossman Gorge before your return to Port Douglas.

Quicksilver Cruises Outer Barrier Reef Cruise ex Port Douglas Hotels
For an experience of a lifetime, Quicksilver's wave-piercing catamarans and friendly crew will take you to a reef at the very edge of Australia's Continental Shelf, to an underwater world that is a dazzling kaleidoscope of colour and brilliance.
Agincourt Reef is a magnificent ribbon reef, where you can experience firsthand the magic that is the Great Barrier Reef. Choose to dive, snorkel, or stay dry and explore the stunning reef from the comfort of a semi-sub, only one-metre underwater. Watch the fish feeding from a unique underwater viewing platform and underwater observatory, or fly in a helicopter over the reef (at an extra cost). Whichever way you choose; you'll bring home a lifetime of memories from this living natural wonder.

Relax and enjoy the splendour only the Daintree Rainforest can offer as you learn of Estuarine Crocodiles, mangrove forests and endemic wildlife. Next, make your way up over the Alexandra Range and pause for a panoramic view of World Heritage, Wet Tropics, and Tropical Rainforest merging with the azure colours of the Coral Sea. Your guide will take you on a journey through ancient Daintree Rainforest, whilst giving you an interpretation of flora and fauna.
