Activities

Swimming, tennis and an attention-grabbing media room. There are plenty of attractions in Port Douglas, such as water sports. Head off on a rainforest boardwalk and experience three separate environments (rainforest, wetlands and grasslands) at the Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary. Highlights include hand-feeding the free-roaming kangaroos and wallabies and getting up close and personal with emus and crocodiles. (Port Douglas Road +61 (0) 7 4099 3235; www.rainforesthabitat.com.au) At Hartley’s Creek Crocodile Adventures, the crocs are always ready for their close-ups and adults will enjoy feeding the koalas as much as the kids.
