Review & FAQ:
Port Douglas is full of fun and entertaining attractions, but undoubtedly its biggest draw is its proximity to The Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral system in the world, with nearly three thousand individual reefs that extend and cover over 134,000 square miles. The reef is teeming with underwater life, with over 1500 species of fish that call it home. There are a lot of ways to see the reef, whether it’s in the water, via snorkeling or diving, or from a glass-bottomed boat or semi-submersible vessel. Each offers its own benefits and is bound to be an unforgettable experience.
