Half-Day Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas

Cairns, Australia, Australasia

Coral Sea Coast, Palm Cove, Port Douglas
This ride threads north out of Cairns on The Captain Cook Highway - a scenic ribbon of road that bursts with vistas of rainforest-smothered peaks stacked atop lush cane fields.

The ride then gets phenomenally involving and scenic as riders tackle Australia's most stunning coastal road, drinking in endless Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef vistas en route to Port Douglas.

Just a short drive north of the resort village at Palm Cove, the highway opens out to reveal sensational views of steep rainforest peaks tumbling down to meet lush strips of sand. A great place to stop and take in all this riotous beauty is the Ellis Beach Bar and Grill, a real coastal retreat beside tropic seas sizzling on an ivory carpet beach.

The gogglingly gorgeous views are not over yet though - not by a long shot. Driving north from Ellis Beach to Rex Lookout, the highway really gets into its serpentine and scenic stride - a cliff-hugging, swooping and meandering scribble of road that alternately plunges into tunnels of rainforest and bursts with blinding Coral Sea views. Simply sensational.
