Port Douglas - Cairns

Paradise in Northern Queensland

Cairns Port Douglas Reef Adventures

The Great Barrier Reef, just off the coast of Tropical North Queensland, is the largest reef system in the world, offering literally thousands of reefs, islands and coral cays for you to explore. Port Douglas, Australia's best kept secret, is a stone's throw from this, one of the natural wonders of the world and is a perfect place to base yourself for your Great Barrier Reef diving and snorkelling adventures.

The weather in Port Douglas is ideal for boating and there are a number of different Port Douglas charter boats as well as dive operators using the town's marina as their base.

If you're looking for a family day out, Quicksilver's massive catamaran and reef pontoon may be just the ticket, with its huge range of reef activities.

For those who'd like to add some beach time to their Port Douglas holiday experience, the Lowe Isles, part of the closest reef to Port Douglas will satisfy the urge, with the added bonus of being able to snorkel with sea turtles.

There are also smaller reef charters in Port Douglas such as the Poseidon, which offer you an all-inclusive reef adventure with fantastic food and interesting company for the young-at-heart.

Or if you'd like a more intimate experience, you can charter private vessels for a personalised diving or fishing trip, or join a vessel like the luxurious Synergy, for the ultimate reef experience.

Whether you're staying at the Reef Club Resort Port Douglas or one of the many backpacker hotels, you can simply book your reef charters or Port Douglas snorkelling adventures at your hotel reception.
