Reef and Rainforest Tours - Turtle Cove Resort, Absolute Beachfront Gay & Lesbian Private Resort Cairns-Port Douglas Australia

In between relaxing hours by the beach, you might want to get out and about in our beautiful region. We are located in one of the most remarkable places in the world. Ancient rainforests meet the Great Barrier Reef right on our doorstep.

The Great Barrier Reef

No trip to tropical Queensland would be complete without a snorkel or dive trip on the Great Barrier Reef.

TURTLE COVE RESORT AND SPA recommends HABA Dive and Snorkel, a gay-friendly operator in Port Douglas, for full day dive and snorkel trips. We send our guests out on regular days for extra fun, but these trips do run 7 days a week.

If you feel like something more intimate, Synergy II is a luxurious sailing vessel accommodating a maximum of 12 guests daily.

We can also recommend other operators, and will happily assist in arranging your tours for you to ensure your tropical vacation is as enjoyable as possible!. Check out our packages for those including Great Barrier Reef trips.

Other Activities

If you’ve done the reef and the rainforest, why not go white water rafting, skydive, or fly out to a sandy cay in a helicopter for a private lunch and snorkel on your own island. You can hire a car from us, explore the Tablelands and waterfalls, or go walking in the rainforest of Mossman Gorge. Maybe you’d like a tour on the back of a Harley?
