We were excited about the toad racing, but couldn't see much as it was so crowded. They had videocams set up, but it didn't help much. Get there early if you want to see the show. Skip the food. It was overpriced and NOT good. more

We just returned from Port Douglas and made sure we popped in to see the Cane Toad racing while we were there. It was an absolute hoot, and we loved every minute of it. Can't make comment on the food as we didn't eat there, but the beers were well priced and there were plently of options! But the cane... more

I was told that a visit to the Iron Bar was a must if visiting Port Douglas... and so on the first night the family trekked down Macrossan St. and duly took up a table inside. The theme of the place is 'Iron' and tables are made up of rustic iron work and wood The table was filthy with food... more

Great fun night out. We went with our kids 6,10 and 13 plus our niece 3years old. We were lucky enough to get all the kids up to "race" a toad and bought one in the auction for 50 bucks! Ended up winning a trip on the reef and an exclusive (thats what he told us!!) cap. Great laugh for... more

Fantastic food and the Cane Toad Racing is an absolute must - I haven't laughed so much in ages! The Australian host is so funny and had a one liner for most nationals! The Kiwis suffered particularly on the night we were there but it was all in very good humour and fun. My son was lucky enough to get... more

The Iron Bar is on the main strip in Port Douglas and it is famous for the cane toad race which takes place twice a week. We went for the Thursday night race. If you wish to participate in the race, you get a ticket from the waitress and hope your number is drawn from a hat. There were 3... more
