In addition to visiting the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Forest, there are heaps of local interesting critters around Port Douglas. See a collection of animals we’ve seen since moving from Melbourne to Port Douglas. Most of these critters are around the 4 mile end of Port Douglas beach. Also several from the Wildlife Habitat, Daintree River and Rainforest Station Nature Park in Kuranda.

If not booking ahead? There is no service for walk up enquiries at the Cairns Airport shuttle desk. This is closed since Exemplar Coaches went into liquidation on 31 March 2026 and has not been replaced. Other businesses have bigger buses and longer wait times all all go via Palm Cove which adds an extra 30 mins to the shorter 60 minute direct journey. It is important travellers understand there is no capacity for walk up shuttles at Cairns Airport in 2026.
