Port Douglas

We are a Destination Management Company (DMC). We specialize in incentive management, and ground support and conference management, special events and high end unique adventures and tours Australia wide.

We are dedicated to making your event, holiday, incentive or wedding as special and as memorable as possible!

“There is probably no words that I could use to tell you how much of a FANTASTIC time we all had, your staff lived up to mine and everybody else’s expectations, even when I told them to go home they didn’t, they stayed until the end to ensure the nights went as smooth as possible, they even helped serve food, what events company does that, (not any that I’ve used before), usually they run around giving orders and don’t actually get their hands dirty.

Now, getting back to my event, well, WOW, BRIGHT, FUN and get everybody involved is what I asked for and that is what I got. Everything that I requested from M.A.D, I got above and beyond that. I truly could not of asked for more.

Thanks again to you and all the staff and M.A.D for making our week at Port Douglas a week to remember.”
