A stunning four-mile stretch of beach from the mouth of the Mowbray River to the base of Flagstaff Hill, Four Mile Beach is perfect for long strolls, unwinding, and taking a refreshing swim. Lifeguards patrol the northern end, and during stinger season, there’s a stinger net in place.
We highly recommend starting your day early here to witness the sunrise over the ocean, painting the sky with hues of pink, orange, and purple.

We recommend visiting during low tide, where you can often see them sunning themselves on the riverbank.

Known as one of Australia’s best, Mossman Gorge boasts crystal-clear water surrounded by lush rainforest. Located in the southern part of the Daintree Rainforest, Mossman Gorge is a must-see.
Once you arrive at the Mossman Gorge Visitor Centre, you have two options to get to the Gorge: take a short shuttle bus or walk the 2km track ($14.50 per adult).
The area has significant indigenous cultural history, and taking a Dreamtime Walk with a local indigenous guide is a great way to learn and support this significance.
If you’d prefer everything organised for you when visiting, consider taking a Mossman Gorge day tour
There are also four self-guided walks you can do:
- Baral Marrjanga: This short 270-metre walk takes about 10 minutes and starts from the shuttle bus drop-off point, leading to a spectacular lookout over Mossman River.

We think a visit here would be a bucket-list experience!
25. Try Hooking a Barra
For Australians living in the southern part of the country or overseas, catching an Australian barramundi is impossible.
At this Barramundi Farm, located about 30 minutes north of Port Douglas, you have a very high chance of hooking one.
The hour-long hook a barra experience includes all necessary fishing gear, and while it’s catch and release, you can purchase freshly caught barramundi if you wish.
It’s a fun and unique experience that offers a taste of North Queensland’s fishing culture.

27. The Daintree Ice Cream Company
No visit to the Daintree is complete without a stop at the Daintree Ice Cream Company, one of the most popular stops on the Daintree Food Trail.
This off-grid operation, surrounded by jungle, has been creating tropical-flavoured ice cream, sorbets, and gelato from tropical fruits since 1993.
Don’t worry if you’re not a fruit fan or are dairy-free; there are options for everyone. If you can’t decide on a flavour, you can choose a mix of four!
28. Ride Horses Along Cape Tribulation Beach
Experience the beauty of Cape Tribulation on horseback with a guided horse riding tour suitable for beginners.

Depending on the conditions, you may even have the chance to walk your horse into the shallow waters of the ocean, adding a special touch to the experience.
29. Hike the Mount Sorrow Ridge Trail
For advanced hikers, the Mount Sorrow Ridge Trail is a must.
This challenging 7km return hike is located in the dense Daintree Rainforest at Cape Tribulation and offers some of the best hiking experiences in the region.
The trail is steep, often wet, and rated as a grade 4 hike, so it’s not for beginners. But if you’re up for the challenge, the views from the summit make the effort worthwhile.
30. Take a Road Trip Adventure on the Bloomfield Track up to Cooktown
If you’re into 4wding and eager to explore further north past Cape Tribulation, the Bloomfield Track is an adventure you won’t want to miss.
This 4wd track hugs the coastline, there is creek crossings, steep climbs, and muddy sections that provide a real taste of the remote wilderness.
The track ends at the town of Wujal Wujal, and while a 4×4 vehicle is necessary, don’t worry if you don’t have one, there is a great 4wd tour that includes exploring the Bloomfield track, allowing you to experience this rugged terrain without the stress of driving yourself.

Although typically part of a Cairns itinerary, visiting Kuranda on a Port Douglas day trip is easily doable.
Located about 1 hour and 20 minutes south, this small rainforest village is a great addition to your Port Douglas itinerary.
For a full Kuranda experience, take the Skyrail gondola or the scenic Kuranda railway, rather than driving.
The Skyrail offers a bird’s-eye view of the oldest rainforest in the world, passing over Barron Falls, while the scenic railway takes you through the rainforest, with stops at stations along the way.
We recommend booking a return Skyrail and Scenic Railway trip for a complete Kuranda experience. Once in Kuranda, explore the local markets, eateries and shops.

When is the Best Time to Visit Port Douglas
We think the best time to visit Port Douglas is during the dry season (May-October), however the best time to visit will ultimately depend on what kind of holiday experience you are seeking.
We have outlined the three seasons throughout the year to help you decide when you should visit:
The Dry Season (May to October)
Port Douglas weather is best enjoyed during the dry season, from May to October, when the days are sunny, there is minimal rainfall, and temperatures range from the mid-20s to low-30s degrees Celsius.
If you don’t like humidity (like most of us), this is the best time to plan a trip; however, keep in mind this is peak tourist season!
The Wet Season (November to April)
The wet season brings warmer temperatures, high rainfall, and high humidity. There is also a higher chance of tropical storms and cyclones during this time of year.
The upside of travelling to Port Douglas during this period is that there are fewer crowds, and the landscape becomes lush and vibrant, perfect for exploring the Daintree Rainforest and waterfalls.
So while the wet season may not be everyone’s preference due to humidity, it does offer a unique advantage for those seeking a quieter environment in Port Douglas.
However, if visiting the surrounding natural beauty like the Daintree Rainforest and nearby waterfalls isn’t your top priority and you’d rather relax and explore Port Douglas, we recommend avoiding the wet season due to the weather patterns described above.
Shoulder Season (April and November)
The shoulder season offers a balance between the dry and wet seasons, which could be an ideal option for those wanting good weather with fewer crowds.
How to Get to Port Douglas
For most travellers, the main route to Port Douglas is driving from Cairns.
The distance from Cairns to Port Douglas is 66 kilometres north along the scenic Great Barrier Reef Drive, officially named the Captain Cook Highway.
Typically, this drive takes around 1 hour without any stops, but we highly recommend taking longer to appreciate the beautiful scenery, coastal towns, and attractions along the way.
There is no airport in Port Douglas itself. The closest airport to Port Douglas is Cairns Airport (CNS). Once you arrive at Cairns Airport, you have the options of hiring a car, taking a private transfer, catching a bus, or using a taxi or Uber.
Private Transfer to Port Douglas
A private transfer is a convenient way to travel between Cairns Airport and Port Douglas, typically costing about $50 – $60 one way.
Local Bus Companies Port Douglas
Another option is catching a bus service, which is around the same price of $50 – $60 one way.
Port Douglas Car Rental
We highly recommend renting a car, as this will give you the flexibility to explore the region at your own pace. You can get a car rental in Port Douglas or at Cairns Airport. To make the rental pick-up quicker, we recommend booking online before arriving at the airport.
Taxi/Uber to Port Douglas
Although more expensive than a private transfer or bus, taxis and Ubers are more convenient. Typically, the cost ranges from $100 – $150 one way.
How to Get Around Port Douglas
All three times we have visited Port Douglas, we’ve had our own car to explore everything there is to do and see around the town and surrounding area. We think that either using your own car or hiring a car is the best option to make the most out of your visit.
With so much natural beauty around the area to explore, both north and south like Cape Tribulation or Cairns Northern Beaches, it’s definitely worthwhile, in our opinion.
But we understand that everyone’s travelling style and preferences are different. If you’re looking to just explore the Port Douglas town itself, you can easily get around by walking or catching local buses.
Another option, if you’re basing yourself in Port Douglas and don’t want to hire a car but still want to explore the surrounding areas, is to book one of the many incredible Port Douglas tours that can pick you up from your hotel!
