Port Douglas has plenty to offer when it comes to sightseeing. It is one of Far
North Queensland’s tourism capitals. The Great Barrier Reef, the sandy golden
beaches and the rainforest of Daintree and Cape Tribulation -- Port Douglas has
it all. It is a popular tourist spot, a holiday extravaganza which is the hot
new destination on the global tourist map. Natural beauty is the USP of Port Douglas
and what makes it all the more irresistible is the perfect weather all year round.
In spite of being a popular tourist attraction, the town has still retained its
laid-back lifestyle.
The route to Port Douglas is bewitchingly beautiful. The drive highlights the
Rex Lookout, Oak Beach and Mowbray Valley with its welcoming B and Bs and artist’s
gallery. Port Douglas lies on an isthmus beside the sparkling waters of Dickinson
Inlet and the rolling waves of the Coral Sea. The Flagstaff Hill stands there
overlooking the ‘port’. This is the best place to have a glimpse of
the town and its fabulous Four Mile Beach.
Visit the Saint Mary's by the Sea which is popular as a venue for weddings
where couples from all over the world come to take the holy vow on that special
day. The huge glass altar window offers breathtaking views of the Coral Sea
and rainforest clad mountains. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the crystal
blue waters of Dickson's Inlet and with stunning views to the Mossman Ranges,
Marina Mirage is a hip modern complex which offers a great shopping experience
and an ultimate indulgence in fun.
Hartley's Crocodile Adventures is a must in your sightseeing trip. Take a boat
ride on the lagoon which is home to 23 crocodiles. It's a unique tour of 25
minutes where visitors board specially constructed boats to explore the natural
habitat of the Australian Saltwater Crocodile and watch the tour guides feed
the crocodiles from poles.
