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.

    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.
