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.

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

Didn't manage to see the Crane Toad Racing but I can throughly recommend this place for it's excellent food and drink! We liked it so much, we ate there twice in one week. Huge, delicous steaks, great value for money. 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
