Port Douglas is an iconic Australian destination visited by presidents and celebrities, It has a great beach and several popular options for coral reef viewing but there are several other 'really different' experiences that we recommend you consider.
Two of these are in the exotic tropical rainforest out from Mossman and they add another dimension to you beach and reef visit. Botanical Ark shows how rainforest can be restored to agricultural land if dedication and hard work is applied. www.botanical ark.com. River drift snorkeling is an unusual and relaxing way to experience pristine rainforest while also seeing some underwater inhabitants. www.backcountrybliss.com.au
Combine these with a sunset sail, some great food, a spa experience, yoga on the beach, swimming, walking and excellent accommodation ans you have all the ingredients for a super holiday.
