Day One: Discovering the Land of the Clouds

The adventure begins when you head inland through the picturesque Pioneer Valley from Airlie Beach. This journey offers breathtaking scenery, as endless canefields blend into the lush green rainforest of Eungella National Park. This area, also known as the "Land of the Clouds", is located high above the valley and offers cool mountain air with stunning views. This is also the best place in Australia to see the rare wild platypus. You will be guided by an experienced guide to the best viewing spots where you can see these shy creatures gracefully swimming through the clear waters of the creek.

Learn about the unique behaviours of these creatures, conservation efforts and the rainforest ecosystem. Spend a relaxing afternoon on lush trails surrounded by towering trees and birdsong. The evening is approaching, so travel back to the coast. You will arrive at Cape Hillsborough Nature Retreat. Your comfortable cabin is waiting for you, surrounded by a forest and the sound of waves. Relax and unwind as you enjoy the serenity that nature offers.

Day Two: Sunrise with Kangaroos & Wallabies

Cape Hillsborough Beach is the perfect place to experience one of Australia's iconic sunrises. Kangaroos, wallabies and other animals will greet you at dawn. These friendly animals jump down to the beach as the first light hits the sand. It's a magical experience you won't forget. This tranquil experience is the highlight of any Queensland Wildlife Tour. Enjoy a delicious breakfast in nature's sounds after taking stunning pictures and enjoying the tranquillity. Your guide will tell you fascinating stories about local wildlife, plants and Aboriginal heritage. You will then enjoy a guided nature walk along the coast, where you may see native birds, butterflies, and other animals.

Enjoy a BBQ lunch using fresh local ingredients before returning to Airlie Beach.
