Accommodation: Port Douglas - 6 Nights

Hidden in the Daintree Rainforest, the Flames of the Forest experience takes place under a large tent, with huge trees and dark woods all around. Dramatic but subtle lighting dances off the canopy creating a dream-like effect. The setting couldn't be more magical. And the food is great, too.

Feast on family-style kangaroo, prawns, reef fish, chicken and steak, along with tasty sides and drinks as you listen to the cultural tales of two indigenous brothers. The attraction is popular with tourists, but you'll find locals there as well. It's a fun, unusual way to learn more about indigenous culture, food, and heritage.

Discover the vibrant fish life and delicate coral of three specifically chosen sites suited for conditions on the day of travel. The shallow reef lagoons are a great opportunity to see the Great Barrier Reef at its best, as some of the best coral growth is found in the shallower waters where sunlight is plentiful. For more experienced snorkellers, you’ll be thrilled with exploring spectacular drop-offs and coral pinnacles.

Join the Marine Biologist for a guided snorkel tour over the shallow coral gardens, pointing out fish and marine life, corals and areas of interest along the way.
 

Our dedicated snorkel crew will provide you with:

• Snorkelling equipment and floatation devices.
• Tips of technique and help for beginners.
• In-water assistance and guidance to where the best areas to snorkel are.
• A briefing on the biology and history of the reef.

Port Douglas has an unpretentious and relaxed ambiance: you'll only find buildings up to three stories high, not much taller than the nearby palm trees, boutique clothing shops, and exquisite alfresco dining restaurants. A visit to Four Mile Beach is essential where you can laze away the day on the pristine sand. Enjoy lunch at one of the many cafes scattered along Macrossan Street or spend the afternoon shopping at the Marina Mirage.

Port Douglas is also a popular base from which to explore the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforests of the Wet Tropics, Daintree, and Cape Tribulation. There are numerous tours that embark from Port Douglas, many combining the adventure experiences of the Reef and the Wet Tropics.

Enjoy a massage to the sounds of the rainforest or the waves crashing on the beach...in Port Douglas it's all possible.

Today join a small personalised Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation tour, where the rainforest meets the reef! On this full-day tour, you will explore all the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation region has to offer. Sit back and relax in comfort in a custom-built 4WD air-conditioned vehicle while listening to informative and entertaining commentary by your local naturalist guide.

As one of the only tour operators to travel on the Bloomfield Track your experience will be like no other. Spot crocodiles on a Daintree River cruise, learn about flora, fauna and the history of the Daintree on a guided boardwalk tour, take a 4WD ride through a World Heritage-listed rainforest on the rugged Bloomfield Track, savour a traditional Aussie barbecue, sample traditional ‘Aussie’ billy tea, damper and tropical fruits in the company of wallabies and enjoy a homemade Daintree ice-cream on your journey home.

Enjoy the thrill of pure sailing! A “must-do” when visiting Port Douglas is to relax with a Sunset Sail on board a first-class sailing catamaran.

Enjoy the sail on a high-performance luxury sailing catamaran. With plenty of room onboard, guests can relax on the upstairs bridge area and chat with the Skipper, or laze on the foredecks and enjoy the splash of the waves and wind.
