If you fly into Cairns and plan to stay in Port Douglas for any length of time, don't bother getting a rental car. You will save money by getting a shuttle transfer up to Port Douglas and then hire a car for day trips into the Daintree or up to Cape Tribulation. Everything in Pt Douglas is walking distance and the weather is amazing in the winter.

Located just one hours drive north of Cairns is my favourite town in the area, Port Douglas. Smaller than Cairns, Port Douglas (PD) has a real community feel about it. Yes, it has 5 star resorts, but...
