Port Douglas Tours, Excursions & Sightseeing of Attractions

We have carefully selected the very best tours and excursions available in Port Douglas. Find and book the perfect sightseeing trips, adventures and excursions with The Backpacker Network. Choose from our current top three backpacker tours, or browse our full selection of Port Douglas tours.


Day Reef Cruise - MV Supercat - Catering to the budget traveller, by cruising to the outer reef on the MV Supercat, you will still have the opportunity to snorkel, scuba dive or take a glass bottom boat tour, and cruise in air-conditioned comfort.

The cruise visits two spectacular outer reef dive and snorkel sites:

Norman Reef
Great variety of fish life, pelagics, turtles, coral gardens, swim throughs, caves, giant clams. Ampitheatre like sandy floors are surrounded by coral hillocks, reef edge and bommies. The swim throughs are excellent but some of the caves are not safe and a guide is necessary to lead you and show you which ones are safe. There are walls of all sizes and shapes with overhangs common.

Saxon Reef
Hard corals, moray eels, lion fish, Maori wrasse, beautiful coral gardens. Excellent shallow snorkelling over the bommie tops. Swim throughs and gullies are scattered throughout the reef. The white sandy floor reflects the light and on a sunny day turns the whole area into a classic magical reef scene.

Take this opportunity to snorkel, sunbathe, try scuba diving, or stay dry by taking the 30 minute glass bottom boat tour. You will also be provided with an Aussie tropical lunch. This will genuinely be a great day out!
