There are many fantastic Reef tours from Port Douglas that take you to the edge of the wall to see the most enchanting underwater world ever. To help you choose the perfect experience, we have curated the perfect list of Port Douglas Great Barrier Reef tours.
 
A cruise to the Outer Great Barrier Reef will definitely be one of the most scenic sailing experiences you will ever enjoy. As the vessel takes you towards the reef, brace yourself to be mesmerised by the alluring beauty of the Daintree Rainforest and also look out for Snapper Island. 
 
At the Outer Reef, swim with turtles and other curious marine creatures in the crystal-clear water. Most operators have exclusive access to pristine snorkelling sites. Embrace this golden opportunity and jump in to admire the complex coral gardens in person. In case you wish to have a different perspective of the corals, choose a cruise that provides glass-bottom boat rides. 
 
Most cruises have an expert marine biologist or reef guide on board. With their expertise at your disposal, these experiences not only offer a visual feast but also provide valuable insights into the importance of preserving this remarkable natural wonder.
