What are people saying about Port Douglas

Daintree Rainforest, Mossman Gorge Small-Group from Port Douglas

Edward_P, Jul 2026

Great way to see a lot of the Daintree in one day

Friendly small tour, very well organised, The Daintree is spectacular, and you see many wonderful sights in one day. We were lucky to see a pair of cassowaries. The activities cover a lot of ground, and river without feeling rushed. The food was excellent for morning tea, lunch and also the ice cream. … and our guide Kel was friendly and knowledgable. We could not have planned such a day

Cairns Rainforest River Tubing

Anne_M, Jul 2026

Fun afternoon out!

We did the river tubing in the afternoon, it was raining in some parts, but this didn't retract from the fun. The tour guides made me and the kids feel safe. My daughter 10yrs was apprehensive, but we all had a great time! Sam, Liv, Arnold and Thompson were a great crew, thank you. Zoe, Penny and Eli.

Crocs and more!

Great experience. The half day tour was perfect, easy pace, plenty of shows incl transfers is all you need. My kids made sure to hit every part of the park, at the end we had just enough time to go back and visit our fave enclosures before closing. The staff and layout of the park make the the experience even better.

Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree Rainforest Day Trip

Hrisanthi_D, Jul 2026

Travelling North

A great opportunity to get into the rainforest and learn about its intricacies from someone with expert knowledge. It was disappointing that the trip was advertised as being able to swim in the Mossman Gorge, yet when it rains it is not safe. And it rains often, and was raining the day I was there. Our guide told us not to swim. I also found out after the trip that it is a sacred Aboriginal site, so swimming isn't appropriate. I'm glad I didn't swim, but it is a shame that the site is not respected as an Aboriginal sacred site. Also, one of the tour highlights at the cultural centre was a smoke ceremony and introduction to local Aboriginal culture. This lasted for around 5mins. Although a very interesting part of the tour, it was not what I expected. The Daintree River cruise was beautiful and we saw some birdlike and 3 crocodiles. A highlight was walking through the rainforest track at Cape Tribulation and learning about the flora & fauna.

Southern Cal visits Port Douglas and GBR

The trip is good for both snorkeling and SCUBA diving. The three different sites provide variety in coral and fish. The crew was amazingly helpful and friendly. We are older and just did snorkeling. The crew never made us feel like stepchildren of the SCUBA divers. The catamaran provided a smooth ride to and from the reef. It was a great day.

Kuranda Scenic Railway & Skyrail Tour from Port Douglas

Sandra, Jul 2026

Well organised, amazing scenery and fun!

This was a wonderful tour, the host Chris was very knowledgeable, entertaining and well organised. The train trip and the sky cable were fantastic experiences and well worth it with amazing views of the stunning rain forest. I would recommend this tour to all visitors to Cairns and Port Douglas.

SheriLynn, Apr 2026

Gold Class All the Way!

The skyrail was a lot of fun and we met interesting people in our car. The views were spectacular! The town of Kaunda was nice and we had a great time at their zoo (an optional, additional expense). There were some nice shops all over town. Unfortunately, our visit was on a Tuesday, when many of the shops, especially those making hand crafts, were closed. The train ride home in Gold Class was exceptional! We sat in big comfy chairs and were served food and wine/beer all included! Our friends who didn’t book gold class, sat on benches in train cars with a water cooler! Our posh ride home was the perfect end to a great day!

Quicksilver Great Barrier Reef Snorkel Cruise from Port Douglas

Palesa_N, Apr 2026

We went with our two year...

We went with our two year old. The staff was amazing so attentive even getting me a drink and making me lunch whilst my toddler slept on me. They were so helpful checking times for different activities and ensuring you get to experience everything you wanted to. Even with a 2 year old in tow we were able to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. Go through the underwater tunnel, ride in the submarine and also take a lovely 10 minute helicopter ride to see the Great Barrier Reef from the sky. Absolutely unbelievable and well worth the extra money. Lunch was really delicious too and everything is so well thought out. If you’re visiting port Douglas it’s worth every penny.

Cairns: All Inclusive Waterfalls and Rainforest Tour

MaryClare_P, Jan 2026

A day of endless fun

Our tour guide Cheryl was extremely hospitable, friendly, and displayed a depth of knowledge and sensitivity towards Cairns' wildlife, culture, and history. We felt that time was used to its fullest and that we were able to cover a lot of ground and do a good range of activities in just one day. I was so glad to get the mix of culture and history with the talk at the Cathedral Fig tree, as well as the fun and thrill at the different waterfalls. The size of the group wasn't too big either, which worked well for us. Thanks to Cheryl and Cairns Adventure Group, we've made memories that we'll remember for a long time.

Outer Reef Mackay Cay Sail & Snorkel Adventure from Port Douglas

Diane_T, Jan 2026

Once in a lifetime tour

The tour operators were very accommodating to both the experienced and novice swimmers. They were very vigilant in making sure all snorkelers were safe, although we had mild waves. The breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks were delicious. The snorkeling areas on the reef were beautiful with plenty of fish and coral life. The onboard presentation by the marine biologist was very informative before we went into the ocean. All in all it was a highlight of our trip to Australia.

Amazing snorkeling so close to Port Douglas

Truly wonderful experience. Loved the glass bottom boat tour with knowledgeable interpretation and plenty of free time to snorkel off the beach. Crew were outstanding. Great diversity of fish and inner reef coral , and turtles, and baby reef sharks. Snacks provided at end was a great way to finish. Early start meant not too hot
