We decided to do the great barrier reef here in PD, but guess what, yes, we forgot the SD-card for our go pro, so we tried our best to give you guys a little insight to how beautiful it was!????

Port Douglas Travel Guide - An Australian Paradise
Port Douglas Travel Guide - An Australian Paradise
Port Douglas is a coastal town and locality in the Shire of Douglas, Queensland, Australia, approximately 70 km (40 mi) north of Cairns. The town's population can often double, however, with the influx of tourists during the peak tourism season from May to September. The town is named in honour of a former Premier of Queensland, John Douglas. Port Douglas developed quickly based on the mining industry. Other parts of the area were established with timber cutting occurring in the area surrounding the Daintree River and with settlement starting to occur on lots around the Mossman River by 1880.
Previous names for the town included Terrigal, Island Point, Port Owen and Salisbury. The town is situated adjacent to two World Heritage areas, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. The Port Douglas township was established in 1877 after the discovery of gold at Hodgkinson River by James Venture Mulligan.
Port Douglas is ideal for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef or to the Daintree Rainforest, with Cape Tribulation a 90 minute drive on well maintained sealed roads. Port Douglas maintains a village feel, as it is a town where the Palm Trees are taller than the buildings and you can meander through the town to do some shopping, or enjoy a wide variety of cafes, pubs, restaurants & bars, ranging from those offering excellent value to world class cuisine. It is a very popular tourist, beach and reef destination, with the peak season being during the Australian winter.
There are 2 bus systems that will take you into town for $5 dollars round trip. The return ticket is only good with the bus company you went in to town with. On Sundays there is a small sightseeing train that runs into and out of town. Tours to the reef or rain forest pick you up at your hotel. Buses go past 4 times per hour from 7AM til around midnight. The main downtown area (along Macrossan St) is easily walkable if you choose a hotel/hostel in that area.
There are plenty of restaurants on Macrossan street. 2Fish, Zeus, The Living Room and Salsa restaurants on Wharf street (among others are also very lively in the evening. On the Inlet restaurant offers great sea food, including many barramundi recipes. The Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary has a great buffet experience with Breakfast with the Birds or Lunch with the Lorikeets: as you dine, birds and other wildlife wander amongst the tables. While there are a number of expensive places in Port Douglas, there are also some great cheaper options to allow everyone to rub shoulders with the rich & famous in Port Douglas.
Kitesurfing is popular at the southern end of Four Mile Beach, particularly during the winter months when trade winds blow from the South. Port Douglas is near the Great Barrier Reef. Numerous companies run daily trips from the marina to the outer reef and the Low Isles for scuba diving and snorkelling. Port Douglas is also well known for its many restaurants, walks, golf courses, and five star resorts.

A pretty good rain near the Daintree Rainforest
The Daintree Rainforest is a tropical rainforest on the north east coast of Queensland, Australia, north of Mossman and Cairns. At around 1,200 km2 (460 sq mi), the Daintree is the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent. Along the coastline north of the Daintree River, tropical rainforest grows right down to the edge of the sea.

Scuba Diving Port Douglas - Great Barrier Reef
Jackie & Dave graced us with their presence for a day of guided diving out at Agincourt Reef and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The reef at the moment is showing a great deal of recovery from the recent bleaching events and this quite often means a greater diversity of marine life can be seen.
Over the 3 dives we saw sharks, huge flowery cod, nudibranchs plus much more!
If you are interested in seeing some of the the finest coral reefs - even if you're not certified, then just let us know and we would be happy to organise a dive trip or course for you to visit this wonder of the natural world!
