Eco Wildlife Two-Day Tour – Platypus & Kangaroos
Airlie Adventure Tours – Eco Certified Whitsunday Land-Based Experiences
Experience two of North Queensland’s most iconic wildlife encounters on this immersive two-day eco adventure from Airlie Beach. Venture into the cool mountain rainforests of Eungella National Park to see the elusive wild platypus and greet the next day’s sunrise with kangaroos and wallabies on the beach at Cape Hillsborough. Enjoy relaxed small-group touring, local guiding, and an overnight stay in nature-surrounded cabins.
Day One – Eungella National Park & “Land of the Clouds”
Journey inland through the Pioneer Valley as cane fields give way to lush rainforest slopes. At Eungella National Park — one of Australia’s best wild platypus viewing locations — we take our time observing these shy, fascinating animals in their natural creek habitat. Your guide shares stories of the rainforest, wildlife behaviour, and conservation efforts while you soak in the peace and highland atmosphere.
Evening – Cape Hillsborough Nature Retreat (Overnight Stay)
Travel back toward the coast and settle into your peaceful cabin accommodation at Cape Hillsborough, surrounded by forest, ocean breezes, and native wildlife. Unwind and enjoy the sounds of nature as the stars emerge above the treetops.
Day Two – Kangaroos at Sunrise
Rise early to witness kangaroos and wallabies feeding naturally along the beach at sunrise — one of Queensland’s most iconic wildlife experiences. Watch the colours of dawn unfold over the Coral Sea while your guide provides insights into the animals and this unique coastal ecosystem.

I would recommend this tour with D.
Our tour guide was very informative and told use a lot about the aboriginals and what the tribes use the waterfalls and what for.
Definitely recommend this trip
This was a total surprise and I am 100% glad I went on this one. Beautiful scenery, stunning beach, learnt about marine turtles and had a delicious burger and milkshake at the Diner. Totally one of the best little places in the Whitsundays .
We visited a coffee plantation, Cedar Creek Falls, had lunch at George’s Diner, and finished with a beer and cocktails at Northerlies Beach Bar.
Thoroughly recommend this tour when you’re next in Airlie Beach.
This service is different to many other waterfall tour providers as with Waterfall Express, you're not confined to a tight time period at waterfall. You choose when you get dropped off and when you get picked up (within reason).
Our driver, Julie, was incredible! great person all round, friendly, had a sense of humour and was happy to provide recommendations for other things around the town.
Highly recommend this service. It was probably the highlight of our trip
