Great video. Was looking for a place for our 40th wedding anniversary and was leaning towards Port Douglas... but now not sure. Cairns looks great too. We are in our 60's and we like wandering around towns and exploring. More research needed. You have helped heaps. Cheers.

[@AquariusTraveller]

Aww... just love this comment and so glad you liked it. Truthfully...if it was my wedding anniversary I would probably choose port Douglas... but depends if you a laid back vacation or not 💖 Hope you have a blast which ever one you pick 😁

[@blink4711]

Thanks for that. Might heart is set on Peppers Resort if going there, but price is up there. But, you only live twice. 😀@@AquariusTraveller

[@AquariusTraveller]

I'm going to palm cove in January for my 40th, is the Daintree forest pram friendly?

[@AquariusTraveller]

I have a video on the daintree that you might want to look at on the daintree kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYu6cnSFm5uKldEsi=H6T6v25H5FLd4rZ8 There would be areas you can take a pram, but other areas with stairs and unformed paths probably not.

Last visited Cairns in tropical North Queensland in April 2001 where I went with my mum and visited some PNG families in Redlynch.

[@AquariusTraveller]

Wow , that was a long time ago - I'm sure the area has changed a bit since then. Thanks so much for sharing 😀

[@IntotheWildFilms]

Awesome vid Chris, comprehensive and wonderfully informative as always. Thanks for sharing, cheers Phil

[@AquariusTraveller]

Thanks bunch Phil... wasn't sure how good a video like this will do, so we'll see I guess 😁👍 Thanks for watching 💖

Yours are great reviews.Well put together. Thanks for that.

[@AquariusTraveller]

Thanks so much for the comment and really glad you liked it 😄

[@adventurewithbernie]

Great video Chris. I have had the pleasure of visiting both on a few occasions. This video should be very beneficial to those researching both destinations. Well done!

[@AquariusTraveller]

Cheers Bernie...I love them both but very different experiences at each. I hope it helps people decide, especially after getting the questions through on my website 👍😁

[@adventurewithbernie]

@@AquariusTraveller now there's a recipe for success, giving people what they want. I like it.

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@adventurewithbernie I hope so 😁👍

[@sidstevens9035]

Very nicely put together video. Missing either one would be tragic make time to see both in my opinion.

[@AquariusTraveller]

You definitely right.... I would make time to see both 👍👍

[@NoNopeAndNo]

Well put together guys👌

[@AquariusTraveller]

So glad you liked it and hope it helps you decide 😁👍

[@GlenB1963]

Hi guys, I've been to both spots a few times, but 15 years ago my wife and I stayed at (shameless plug) Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa, it was very expensive, but you get what you pay for. A beautiful cabin with spa on the verandah, RIGHT IN THE RAINFOREST. A beautiful part, and must visit part of Queensland. Love North Queensland ♥️

[@AquariusTraveller]

You had me at Spa...LOL. I saw the same kind of pricing near Cape Tribulation and their Rainforest lodges. Just a bit out of my price range for a road trip through, but would consider it for a special occasion.

[@jennyjenkins9485]

Very informative

[@AquariusTraveller]

Glad you liked it and thanks for watching :)

I am visiting Cairns in end of July this year. Is taking a day tour to Daintree is recommended or self drive? I personally am thinking of self drive due to possibility of exploring coastal road adding stops where required.

[@AquariusTraveller]

We did it on a self drive tour and I found it easier but I guess way up the cost comparison with your group and what else you want to see. Know that my daintree tour was OneWay from Port Douglas to Cape Tribulation and that even that took the whole day. So, while a day trip from Cairns is doable, there is a whole lot to see and many stops (check out my great barrier reef drive video) ... you'll need to round down what's most important to you and whether you'll do any of the hikes or check out the tree top section out the back of the visitor centre 😀. Sometimes tours can be better with a strict time schedule

[@silviafrancescato4471]

I will be in a tour in Cairns for just 5 hours. Do you think I will have time to reach the Butterfly's Sanctuary and coming back on time not to loose the tour. The Kuranda rail is not working and I will go there by car. Thanks for your reply.

[@AquariusTraveller]

Kuranda is about 50 minutes one way from Cairns and we spent about an hour at the butterfly place. It would be rushed and depends if you don't have to wait for hiring a car. Is there a reason you want to go there and not The bird park and wildlife zoo.... probably heaps more you can spend your time up there. If your travelling in the next couple of months...make sure you stop at Barron falls too, normally raging with water this time of year 😁👍

[@silviafrancescato4471]

Thanks for your advice, I'll keep in mind... and I will follow you non-stop!

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@silviafrancescato4471 please feel free to watch my kuranda video linked here, to know everything to do there and what to expect 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYO3mYyXlrOVbrMsi=qrhJ1GLwVUxjlm6X

Great video. Helpful. Background music is awful tho.

[@AquariusTraveller]

🤣🤣...you got me on that one

[@JASPER_AEP]

The Doug clears

[@James-ce6ic]

Port Douglas be the best place

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@James-ce6ic definitely has some features I like better 😀👍

[@baman2003]

Where is the floor that looks like you are walking on the reef located please ? 2 minutes 50 seconds in video.

[@AquariusTraveller]

I've been waiting for someone to see that...I thought it was very cool 💖. It's around the entrance to the casino in Cairns 👍

[@baman2003]

Thakyou for the quick reply . Will be up that way in April.

[@AquariusTraveller]

@@baman2003 hope you have fun.... April will be an awesome time of year to visit 👍😁

[@ryanjones6827]

Cairns I guess

[@AquariusTraveller]

Definitely - if your after more things to do I would choose Cairns :) But I love Port Douglas for the laid back atmosphere and better for those on a romantic secluded holiday.

[@bradwaghorn8955]

Port Douglas is so over rated. So Expensive. Don’t go near it during the wet season.

[@AquariusTraveller]

Definitely more expensive but not sure either a good in the wet season!
