Port Douglas Walking Tour
Port Douglas, Australia
Why Walk Port Douglas
Port Douglas sits on a peninsula between the Coral Sea and the Daintree River, an hour north of Cairns. It is the closest town to the point where two UNESCO World Heritage Sites converge — the Daintree Rainforest, the oldest tropical rainforest on Earth, and the Great Barrier Reef. Four Mile Beach curves along the town's eastern edge, and the compact village center on Macrossan Street has a relaxed tropical character.
