The township of Port Douglas is a serene, beachside village located in the very furthest northern reaches of the Queensland Tropics, surrounded by lush mountain rainforest, endless beaches, rocky outcrops and laid back locals.

This picturesque town, popular with celebrities, is filled with restaurants, boutique shops, a large market on Sundays and a huge ‘Carnivale’ every year in May.

Just fifteen minutes north lies the incredible Mossman Gorge, including Dreamtime Walks, swimming holes and walking tracks. 

Venture further north in your car or on a tour into the Daintree Rainforest and visit Cape Tribulation or take a crocodile tour on the Daintree River. Ocean lovers will love Port Douglas’ easy access to the Great Barrier Reef. A range of boats depart daily from the Port Douglas Marina, including half day, day and over-night reef trips. 
 

Reef operators provide a range of options that include trips to their ocean pontoons, allowing you to disembark and stretch your legs. For the more adventurous, outer reef cruises select three optimum sites to stop and allow you to snorkel or dive at the best sites of the day. 

For more information, ask Pullman Port Douglas Services to recommend a reef trip or tour for you. Our friendly staff at Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort & Spa can make all your bookings at no extra charge.
