Venture deep into the misty rainforest mountains of Eungella National Park, the “Land of the Clouds,” on this fully guided eco-certified day tour from Airlie Beach with Airlie Adventure Tours. Travel south through lush cane fields and rolling countryside before climbing into the cool, tropical highlands of the Clarke Range.

At Broken River, watch for the elusive platypus from special viewing platforms — one of the few places in the world to see them in the wild. Explore rainforest walking tracks where you might spot turtles, wallabies, or the rare blue freshwater crayfish. Your local guide shares stories about the rainforest’s ecosystem, Aboriginal heritage, and unique wildlife.

We’ll stop at the Pinnacle Family Hotel—where a world-famous Pinnacle Pie is on us.

A perfect blend of nature, wildlife, and local flavour — a truly authentic Whitsundays eco experience.

What To Expect

1

Broken River

This is where you get the best chance to see the wild Platypus swimming at Broken River. Then we all have our BBQ lunch in the park, under the gum trees. *Platypus are wild creatures and although we see them most of the time, some days they are shy and they can't be seen. Weather, noise, and environment do affect these shy little creatures.

    The platypus-spotting tour was absolutely amazing. We were lucky enough to see a platypus, which was truly special. We also enjoyed a beautiful walk with Cara, our guide, who was fantastic and shared so much interesting information about the rainforest and its incredible wonders. Besides the platypus, we spotted wildlife such as a kookaburra, many turtles, and bats. Cara also stopped so we could take photos of the stunning national park from a breathtaking lookout point. We also had time for a short stop to pick some delicious, juicy mangoes, which was a lovely surprise. To top it all off, we enjoyed sausages just like at a real Australian BBQ. A wonderful, well-organized tour for everybody that I would highly recommend!
