The Great Barrier Reef is a popular destination for families, with its stunning coral formations, giant clams, and diverse marine life. The reef offers an abundance of coastal experiences, including swimming, scuba diving, and soaking up the sunshine on the soft sands of an island. Port Douglas, a town near the reef, has a relaxed atmosphere, with low-rise development and a range of accommodation options. The town is a great base for exploring the northern areas of the reef and the rainforest coast of Daintree and Cape Tribulation. With over 100 day tour options available, visitors can choose from a variety of activities to suit their interests. The nearby Mossman Gorge offers a chance to relax in the cool clear waters or take a walking track through the Wet Tropics Rainforest
