    While Kangaroos and Wallabies take centre stage, Cape Hillsborough offers a rich tapestry of coastal flora and fauna.

    After a Sunrise Encounter like no other, sit back and watch the beautiful scenery you missed on the drive down. Cane fields and cattle farming dominate with lush mountains as a scenic backdrop. We have an easy drive back to Airlie Beach where you still can take in more of the Whitsundays.
