Accommodation for Every Visitor
Whether you seek a camping experience under the stars or a luxury escape at a 5-star hotel, Port Douglas has many accommodations to suit every taste and budget. You can easily access the Great Barrier Reef from here, with day trips starting at just 90 minutes. Choose from large, wave-piercing catamarans, smaller intimate vessels, or helicopter tours for a unique perspective. Extended stay charters to the Ribbon Reefs, Coral Sea, and Far Northern reefs are also available for those seeking a longer adventure.
Explore the Low Isles and More
Just 15 kilometres offshore, the Low Isles is a must-visit destination, featuring both a sandy cay and a mangrove cay set on a mid-shelf reef. Be sure to visit outside of August to February, when the mangrove cay is closed, to protect thousands of nesting Torresian Imperial Pigeons. Agincourt and Opal Reefs extend southwards from the Ribbon Reefs and offer exceptional snorkelling and diving experiences on the edge of the continental shelf.
