Then pile into your rental for a 45 minute drive to Port Douglas for your two night stay at Peppers Beach Club. The rooms are inviting and generous in side. Start the evening with a stroll along Macrossan Street, Port Douglas’ hub of restaurants, cafes and shopping.
Finish your stroll with dinner at On The Inlet. The best seafood joint in town, don’t go past the mud crap Singapore style.
Today is a day for exploring the world famous Great Barrier Reef! It will be an early start today, so grab a quick bite at Hi-Tide Cafe before heading out on a reef cruise operated by Silverseries Cruises.
One of only two companies who travel to the outer reef, and the only company offering 3 site visits in the one cruise. Since you’re visiting the outer reef, you’re less likely to be overrun with other cruise companies, and you’re more likely to see undisturbed wildlife and coral reefs. Snorkel, or take a PADI certified diving course on board.
You’ll be a bit tuckered out after your day of diving, so once you arrive back in Port Douglas, head back to the Beach Club and chill out by the pool. For dinner, Salsa Bar & Grill, where the locals go, again seafood is the menu highlight.
Today, you’re checking out of Port Douglas and heading down to Cairns. Before making the 90 minute drive, head out to Mossman Gorge for a different Daintree perspective.
Located 20 minutes from Port Douglas, it is the only place in the Daintree where you can get a taste of the lives, culture and beliefs of Australia’s Indigenous population and their connection to the natural environment. Join in on a Dreamtime walk for a 90 minute journey.
After that it is time to drive down to Cairns! There are a bunch of great stops along the way including Nu Nu in Palm Cove for lunch, we suggest BBQ Tiger Prawns.
