  • Eungella National Park
    Experience one of Australia’s most unique wildlife encounters at Eungella National Park, known as one of the best places in the world to see wild platypus. Nestled high in the rainforest-covered Clarke Range, Eungella offers calm freshwater creeks where these shy and fascinating creatures feed and play. Watch quietly from the viewing platforms as platypus surface, dive, and glide through crystal-clear pools. Your guide shares insights into their behaviour, habitat, and ongoing conservation efforts. Surrounded by lush rainforest, birdlife, and cool mountain air, this is a rare opportunity to observe one of Australia’s most iconic native animals in its natural environment — just a scenic drive from Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Coast.
  • Cape Hillsborough
    It's an early start, 4:30 a.m., to observe kangaroos on the beach during sunrise at the stunning Cape Hillsborough National Park. The beach at Cape Hillsborough is renowned worldwide for its encounters with kangaroos and wallabies at sunrise. Every morning, these animals come down to feed on seaweed and mangrove seed pods, often happily posing for photos. The sunrises here are breathtaking, making it easy to see why this spot has become so popular.
  • Mt Jukes Family Farm Enjoy a relaxed evening dinner stop at the beautiful Mt Jukes Family Farm, where guests can unwind in a peaceful rural setting and enjoy delicious traditional wood-fired pizzas made with fresh local ingredients. Surrounded by open farmland and tropical countryside, this authentic farm experience offers the perfect opportunity to relax, enjoy local hospitality, and soak in the atmosphere of regional Queensland.
