What travelers are saying
- Marylou J10 contributionsAn easy walk into town along the beach. Safe and family friendly with lots of walkers on this clean beach for a stroll.Written July 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- tessiselatedMelbourne, Australia30 contributionsI went to the Wildlife habitat and did the breakfast with the birds. It was really cool to get some close up time with some of the birds, though it might have been nice to have an extra handler at the breakfast.
The park is fairly small and can be done in half a day. It was really cool to see and hear cassowaries up close - definitely try catch their feeding time if you can!Written July 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - MaverickRossBrisbane, Australia650 contributionsNice way to spend a Sunday morning in Port Douglas. Was quite busy owing to a number of weekends of bad weather but still easy to get around and look at the stalls.
The council controls/approves each vendor which means this really is a good quality market with a wide variety of stalls. I usually struggle to find anything of interest at markets these days as they all tend to be ticky tack that is found everywhere. PD Sunday Market was really good and managed to find a few unique items to buy.
Not a huge range of food/drink options but there are at least 4-5 food vendors and a couple of drink vendors.Written May 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Stuart WBrisbane, Australia2 contributionsWhat a really great experience and day. My wife went snorkeling for the first time and we both encountered our first helicopter flight over the reef. A truly remarkable experience. The whole day was made great by the friendly staff on board our vessel and whilst we were on the pontoon.Written April 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Gaynor R5 contributionsBeautiful little chapel set amongst palm trees & ferns. Large window behind the alter frames the stunning views & little beach cove.Written May 31, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- manavsriMelbourne, Australia64 contributionsWe enjoyed the Outer Reef with Calypso and it was a great fun. The reef have regrown and they look beautifulWritten February 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Brendan A9 contributionsAn excellent spot to appreciate the natural beauty of the area. Four Mile beach has some of the hardest sand that we have experienced and they tell me that people can even ride push bikes on it!Written June 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- SydneyJetsetterSydney145 contributionsShort drive from main street to lookout..
Beautiful views of main beach coastline..
Recommend you see it..Written April 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Nicole MTwo Wells, Australia23 contributionsTake a walk, check out what is happening on the water, buy some fresh prawns from the boat, walk on the wharf, the church and enjoy the gardens. Toilet facilities too.Written April 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Catherine FMelbourne, Australia13 contributionsIf you visit Port Douglas, you really need to do the walking trail. Ensure you wear decent footwear. The view is amazing and after the walk, you've earnt your breakfast or lunchWritten June 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- IngiTaylor16 contributionsThe Port Fouglas Marina market is not a big market but it is a reasonable market if you can only appreciate those stall holders who do show up every week. Unfortunately Covid has had a big hand to play with why things have changed so dramatically. Love the Fenglehorn chilli stall but my absolute favourite is Andrea's scarves. They are affordable, beautiful, versatile and fashionable. Will definitely be back.Written June 7, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Nicole MTwo Wells, Australia23 contributionsThe artwork on show is amazing. Check it out. Some amazing pieces from the NT. Celebrate the artists.Written April 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- draculas_mumAdelaide, Australia54 contributionsLargely vacant with only a few restaurants and the Marina to visit. The brewery was doing a great trade.Written May 26, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Adrian PNoosa, Australia989 contributionsThis isn't a major museum but is worth visiting for the interesting displays, especially on the only female hanged in Queensland.Written September 11, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- pratibha46Sydney, Australia134 contributionsPort Douglas is about an hours drive from Cairns.
All the way you drive along mountains on one side and ocean on the other side. It reminded me of Great Ocean Drive.
The town has beautiful palm trees and their information centre has all the information about the surrounding of this World Heritage Listed place.
Accommodation can be from backpacks to luxurious Mirage Resorts.
Lots of eateries and coffee places.
I really enjoyed this place.Written March 3, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
