Review:
The beautiful Port Douglas takes just an hour to get to heading north from Cairns. Traveling along Great Barrier Reef Drive affords visitors a scenic drive with the forest on one side and the Coral Sea on the other. In this alluring climate where balmy days turn into tropical evenings with clear starry skies there is no shortage of things to do. It’s the only place in the world containing two natural gems on the World Heritage List, namely the rainforest of Daintree and the Great Barrier Reef. Cape Tribulation is a quaint village where these two extraordinary places meet, a hidden jewel all of its own.
