Port Douglas is the place where many people come to get a tour of the Great Barrier Reef. There are hundreds of tours available at different times of the year. Some tours last a few days while others last just a few hours.

Not all of the tours require diving certification. Many people prefer to snorkel and swim around the reef. Others enjoy going on tours of the surrounding area which includes the Daintree rainforest, which is teeming with wildlife. The Skyrail experience takes guests over the rainforest where they can see all the beauty that it has to offer. Port Douglas is a holiday destination in Queensland because it is in the middle of hundreds of fascinating things to do.
