All Port Douglas Tours & Excursions in 2026

We did a tour with Mary and Louisa today and we've brought it up every chance we've had since. We had such a fantastic time, the tour guides were full of knowledge. They took us around the property and we were really impressed with the owners commitment to preserving their part of the Daintree. Loved the waterfall, learning about the flora and fauna and meeting some of the wildlife on the property, overall a great day out! Also, enjoyed the company of our tour mates, a brilliant couple!

I was glad I was able to book this morning for the afternoon tour. I was amazed the whole thing went without any problem. We were picked up at the right place at exactly the time it was quoted. The driver/guide was humorous and wonderful and arrived at Hartleys almost 30 minutes the usual time that gave us a lot more time too see two shows, boat tour and also see all the trails and all the animals.

We had a wonderful day out with the Calypso team. The whole time we felt safe, taken care of and educated - not to mention we had a whole lot of fun. The team clearly have a lot of respect for the reef and care for those travelling with them, I highly recommend them for all your snorkelling and scubaing experiences.

The boat out to the low isles is quick but very rough when it’s windy, I would suggest packing seasickness medication just in case! Then, you get on a glass bottom boat to go to the low isle! The boat is very pretty and the low isle is even better! We liked that we had the freedom to snorkel on our own or join a tour on land or water! It was flexible and chill and that gave us the chance to find a sea turtle! I would recommend this to anyone but still also do an outer reef booking as well because they are very different!

As the sky rail was closed for maintenance we had Hartleys crocodile experience added to our day . This was a fantastic inclusion. Could have spent longer there but the value was excellent. Kuranda markets were a little disappointing as the stalls were very sparse. The train was fantastic. Beautiful scenery and the history of the rail line was very interesting. Our driver Peter was absolutely fantastic. Informative funny and cheerful. His playlist on the journey home was A plus! It ended up a long day but never felt like it. Having the opportunity to have pizza and a cocktail in Palm Cove meant we just had to return to hotel and put our feet up. Highly recommended this tour

A fantastic way to get out to snorkel at the Great Barrier Reed. You’re on a huge boat with other travelers and have the chance to see the coral and fish whether by snorkel or semi-submersible. A lovely lunch, Lycra suits, snorkels, find are provided. We paid extra for the advanced (longer) 1 hour snorkelling with a marine biologist. My 10 year old and i were nervous in the waves and Ellie was great in guiding us and providing that individual attention while Glen the marine biologist took the rest of our group out to see more (turtles!). Do note: if you get motion sick, get Rx medication and still be prepared to vomit, as many people did. Each way to and from the pontoon is 2 hours. Sit in the back outside if you tend to prevent motion sickness and don’t choose to do the submarine ride. The Crew were all so nice and friendly, looking after everyone. It was well organized. You can choose a helicopter back instead of the ship but it’s an extra fee. Communication before the activity was also good.

What an incredible day on the reef. Courtney, Mick and the rest of the crew were incredible - it was a beautiful day, the sailing was smooth. the corals and marine life were absolutely incredible. The crew took great care to ensure you have everything you need and the boat is excellent. It was a top notch experience and totally worthwhile.

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!
