Top 7 Nature Walks Near Port Douglas

There aren’t many places in the world where you can walk out of one World Heritage Area and head straight into another one. With as much to explore in the rainforest as there is in the reef, its time to lace up those hiking shoes and explore the epic backyard of Tropical North Queensland.

With so much natural beauty everywhere you look, the great outdoors is the place to be. Check out our favourite nature walks in and around the Port Douglas area.

Port Douglas Lookout

Our favourite spot for a morning coffee and breathtaking view! Kick-start your day with a walk up to the lookout on Flagstaff Hill which is just a short walk from Coconut Grove.

Port Douglas is bounded by water on three sides and this lookout gives you a stunning view of the entire panorama. Enjoy sweeping views of sandy Four Mile Beach with fringing palms, the majestic mountains and turquoise sea.

Not only is this a great spot for sunrise and during the day, but a very tranquil spot to relax in the evening – especially during a glistening full moon.

Exercise junkie? The locals favourite workout is running up and down the stairs connecting the beach to the lookout – certainly not for the faint-hearted! You can expect lots of sweat and maybe some tears, but nothing that a refreshing dip in the ocean can’t fix J

Don’t feel like walking? You can drive or ride up to the lookout – whichever option you choose, you’ll still be treated to the same glorious views that encapsulate the Tropical North Queensland environment so well.

Flagstaff Hill Walking Trail

This spectacular walking trail was opened in December 2017 and has had a fantastic response with locals and visitors alike. The world class track starts and finishes at 2 of the most iconic spots in Port Douglas - Four Mile Beach & Anzac Park (Rex Smeal Park).

Quickly becoming a 'must do' when you visit Port Douglas, the Flagstaff Hill walking trail offers picturesque vantage points over the Coral Sea, Low Isles and even as far as the Daintree Rainforest and Snapper Island. If it's a photo opportunity you're after - then this walk is for you! However this is also a great option for an intense workout with stair climbs incorporated on the route.

Mossman Gorge

Located in the Southern Part of the Daintree National Park, Mossman Gorge is one of the regions most iconic attractions. Known best for its lush rainforest, refreshing water streams, powerful mountains and stunning Gorge – this is a must on any adventurers holiday to Far North Queensland.

There are many self-guided or tour guided boardwalks that you can choose from, or if your feeling adventurous, you can go off the beaten path and discover some more private swimming holes like the locals favourite ‘Hippie Hole’. If you are looking to extend your knowledge, go on a guided Dreamtime Walk to gain a deeper understanding of the extensive flora & fauna and traditional cultures & beliefs of the Indigenous people.

Take advantage of the abundance of nature walks and absorb the wonders of the dense green rainforest. There is clear signage throughout the rainforest and maps are provided upon entry – so no need to worry about getting lost! Our tip? Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy it by one of the many water holes.

Located just 20 minutes from Port Douglas, the Gorge is easily accessed via daily transfers, tour group buses or simply by driving your own car. The team at Coconut Grove can organise your Mossman Gorge day trip for you.

Daintree Rainforest & Cape Tribulation

Did you know that the Daintree Rainforest is one of the oldest surviving rainforests in the world? To be exact, the flora & fauna have been establishing themselves for over 160 million years!

Now that certainly seems like a good enough reason to book your tropical getaway to Port Douglas and explore the magic that is the Daintree!

Emmagen Creek is one of our favourite spots in the Daintree. Either drive your car and walk 10 minutes or walk an hours hike from Cape Tribulation Beach. You will be greeted with a stunning waterhole and sandy beach.

The Dubuji Boardwalk is a picturesque boardwalk through the forest and mangroves. You can find it signposted on the main road to Cape Tribulation. The walk takes one hour and you can exit on the beach.

If you are looking for a real challenge, then the Mount Sorrow hike near Cape Tribulation is for you! The walk commences on the main road, two hundred metres north of the Kulki - Cape Tribulation Beach turn-off. There is a small car park where you can leave your car. Look for the walking sign which is set just off the road in the bush on the inland side of the road where the track starts. Watch out for leeches!

Whether you want to have a self-guided experience through the Daintree or a guided tour – we are here to help you plan the perfect Daintree day out.

Bump Track

Calling all fitness freaks! The 6km Bump Track is a must-do for all those who enjoy keeping fit and active. To sweeten the deal, you can enjoy magnificent views across to the sea and even to Mowbray Falls while you walk or run the track.

Did you know the Bump Track was actually the original track linking Port Douglas with the goldfields? Nowadays, the track is a popular trail for walking, mountain biking and horse riding.

To reach the bottom of the Bump Track, head south from Port Douglas along the Captain Cook Highway to Craiglie. Turn right into Mowbray River Road 1.5km south of Craiglie. Turn off Mowbray River Road into Connolly Road and continue for 3.5km to the Bump Track.

Heritage Walking Trail around Port Douglas

If you’re a fan of history then a leisurely stroll through the township of Port Douglas on the ‘Heritage Walking Trail’ would be an ideal activity for you. Travel back in time and see some of the historic landmarks around the town and learn about the rich history of Port Douglas.

You can pick up a self-guided walking map from the Port Douglas Tourist Information Centre or you can call into the Port Douglas Museum (near Anzac Park) for the trail map and more information.

Kuranda Village Walks

Kuranda is very well known for its quaint markets, but did you know there are also multiple different rainforest walking trails with some of the most beautiful flora & fauna in Australia?

A few favourite trails are the Rainforest Canopy Walk and the Jum Rum Creek Walk. These are easily accessible and only take around 40 minutes. We suggest making a day of it and experiencing everything Kuranda has to offer!

One of the best days out in Kuranda is with Brett’s Kuranda Tours! Experience the best of Kuranda with a scenic view on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, 2 hours in Kuranda to explore and enjoy some nature walks, a spectacular rail journey on the Kuranda scenic train and a visit to the pristine Palm Cove.

Best Breakfast & Brunch in Port Douglas

Breakfast is commonly referred to as the ‘most important meal of the day’, and we tend to agree.

It’s important to fuel your body for the day whether you’re hitting the Reef, exploring the Daintree or simply chilling out by the pool.

The team at Coconut Grove Port Douglas have been hard at work trying and testing the best breakfast spots that this seaside town has to offer. Here are the very best of the best… Enjoy!

The Little Larder

Follow in the local’s footsteps and head to the award-winning Little Larder for a killer coffee and flavoursome meal, located in the centre of Macrossan St. The menu includes unique, modern dishes plus all the much-loved breakfast classics with a twist that certainly don’t compromise on flavour. We love the breakfast tacos and wild mushrooms on toast.

*TIP* These guys serve up some great sandwiches for lunch.

Lure

With picturesque boardwalk location at the Marina, Lure Restaurant boasts a sprawling waterfront deck, spectacular views over the mountains and rainforest and an impressive breakfast menu. Lure is as easy on the eyes as it is pleasing to the palate. The Marina is a 10 minute leisurely stroll from Coconut Grove, the perfect way to kick start your day.

*TIP* On most Wednesdays the Reef Marina Sunset Markets are held from 2pm. Enjoy a late breakfast at Lure, browse the Marina shops and then hit the markets!

Café Fresq

All day breakfast. Need we say more? We are firm believers in breakfast at any time of the day, especially when you’re on vacation. Café Fresq serves up modern dining with all your favourite breakfast items. Try their barista coffee, freshly squeezed juices or even a Bloody Mary.

*TIP* Great for families with an awesome kids menu.

Choo Choo’s

One of the newer cafes in town, Choo Choo’s has definitely proven itself to be one of the top spots for a freshly brewed latte and good value breakfast. Located on the lakeside at St. Crispin’s station, guests can enjoy panoramic views in a tranquil atmosphere, 7 days a week.

*TIP* On a Sunday you can catch the Bally Hooley steam train to St. Crispin’s station which a great experience for the whole family.

Hi Tide Café

Life is good at the beach. Make the most of your seaside location and take a short stroll to Four Mile Beach and dine at Hi Tide Café. Listen to the sound of the waves gently crashing on the shore while you feast on a scrumptious breakfast in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

*TIP* Get up early and have a refreshing morning swim before breakfast, it will make your meal even more satisfying.

10 Things To Do in Port Douglas Australia

Port Douglas is a resort town whose relaxed tropical outlook and stunning natural beauty make it a perfect vacation destination. A wide range of activities make this a memorable trip for everyone in the family.

Here are some suggestions and our top 10 things to do:

Great Barrier Reef

Just off the town's eastern shore lies one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders with over 400 species of coral and 1,500 species of fish, sea turtles, dolphins, and rays. The variety of tours is endless and visitors can see the reef from the deck of a boat or snorkel alongside the fish.

Flagstaff Hill

Port Douglas is bounded by water on three sides, and Flagstaff Hill Lookout offers a breathtaking view of the entire panorama. The Lookout can be reached by car, but the gentle grade makes this an enjoyable walk for most visitors.

Four Mile Beach

The turquoise waters and wide sand deck fringed by palms and mangroves rather than urban sprawl make Four Mile Beach one of the region’s favorites. The waves are gentle and family-friendly, while strong winter Trade Winds make it popular with kite surfers from June to August.

Reef Marina

Located on the west side of town on the Dickson Inlet, The Reef Marina is a good place to go to the reef and to enjoy a lively marina with a shopping arcade and waterside cafes.

Estuary Cruises

See Port Douglas’ mangrove system from a classic riverboat. Dense mangrove swamps, water birds like heron and egrets, and saltwater crocodiles are expected sights along the way.

Port Douglas Village

Macrossan St is the town’s main avenue, lined with shops and casual restaurants. Here are numerous galleries featuring local artists working in a wide range of styles. A special feature of Port Douglas, the galleries have become well-known over the years and are an attraction in themselves.

Sunday Markets

Each Sunday morning seaside Anzac Park becomes the setting for colorful open-air markets. In addition to goods produced by local craftsmen and artists there’s a mouth-watering selection of fresh fruits and vegetables from local growers.

Daintree National Park

Of the many day trips available from Port Douglas, the most noteworthy is to Daintree National Park, home to more species of plants and animals than any other place on earth and Australia’s largest tropical rainforest. There’s a tour for every taste, including one led by traditional owners that has visitors sliding in the mud of mango swamps, learning survival skills and to catch their own seaside dinner.

Mossman Gorge

Located in the southern part of the World Heritage listed, Daintree National Park, Mossman Gorge is one of the few places in the country that visitors can gain an insight into the lives, culture and beliefs of Australia’s Indigenous population and their connection to the natural environment.

Journey into the lush rainforest of Mossman Gorge and experience the wonders of the Daintree Rainforest all the while getting lost in its enchanting stories and rich Indigenous heritage.

Golf Courses

The stunning scenery of the area makes a perfect backdrop for golf. Port Douglas has several world-class courses, so beautifully designed even casual golfers will want to hit the links.

Eat!

Port Douglas is home to world-class dining - think fresh seafood, tropical cocktails and great coffee. Have you checked out our top picks for breakfast and brunch?

Perfect Location & Amenities

We stayed for 5 nights (we were booked for 4, but added an extra day as soon as we got here. We had a top floor apartment with pool and spa combo. Neither pool or spa are heated and they don’t need it. Great hospitality, excellent apartment, clean, well kitted out, just lovely. Brilliant location. Easy walking to beach or centre of town. Will definitely be back. Thanks so much for the great holiday.

Elena - TripAdvisor 1 Apr 2023

What a great apartment!

Wow, what a great place to stay in Port Douglas. The apartment is outstanding with plenty of room and all amenities that you need for a good holiday. The complimentary Welcome Platter was just what we needed after 2 separate flight delays on our trip here & we were starting to get a little frazzled. The staff have been most accommodating and caring. Josephine at reception is an absolute wonder. She is very knowledgeable of the area and a great help in planning what to see & do. Everything in the apartment is great, location perfect, near beach, shops and Cafes/restaurants. Bed is "just right" - not too hard, not too soft. I have a crook lower back so this is important for me. We are definitely planning to come back - it has been so enjoyable.

High Rolling!

We lived our best life for a week on the top level of coconut grove. With a private pool, spa and bbq/lounge area and a huge three bedroom apartment with a fully kitted out kitchen we didn’t want to leave. Super clean. On Macrossan Street so easy to walk everywhere but down the quieter end near four mile beach. Perfection!

Laura - TripAdvisor 1 Oct 2023

Fantastic Stay in Paradise

My wife and I have stayed at Coconut Grove twice in the past 12 months and the apartment we stayed in (balcony apartment) was fantastic. We love coming to Port Douglas, and Coconut Grove is always our first choice of accommodation. A modern apartment with nice facilities and in a great central location.

Daniel D - TripAdvisor 1 Aug 2023

Perfect Place to Stay

Perfect place to stay. The apartments are spacious, comfortable, well furnished and very clean. All the staff, reception, maintenance, cleaners were all lovely. Great location being on Macrossan Street but at the quieter end with the beach 30 seconds away. Possibly the best apartment complex I've ever stayed in within Australia (and I've travelled extensively over the years so that's saying something). The welcome cheese board and crackers was spot on too.
