Port Douglas is located in tropical north Queensland, Australia. It is approximately a one hour’s drive from Cairns via a scenic coastal road bordered by the rain forest and the Coral Sea. Port Douglas is one of Queensland’s and Australia’s premier holiday destinations situated between the two World heritage listed regions of the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest of Daintree and Cape Tribulation.
Port Douglas is the closest gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, a natural wonder with incredible biodiversity, colourful coral gardens of every shape and form, and home to an abundant array of tropical marine life. The World Heritage rainforests, comprising the lush green coastal strip of the Daintree and Cape Tribulation region to the north of Port Douglas, is home to some of the oldest forests in the world and is a treasure trove of rare plant and animal species.
