You show up. Everything else is done.
By the time you arrive at Cedar Creek Falls, your table and chairs are set up in the shade, water shoes in your size are waiting, pool noodles are stacked and ready, and your guides — eco certified, warm, and full of stories — are there to make the whole day feel effortless.
Cedar Creek Express is a small group experience designed for people who want the real Whitsundays, not a crowded bus tour. 4.8 stars, a 97% recommendation rate, and a Viator Badge of Excellence from 121 reviews — our guests say it best.
Cruise ship in port? We've built this around you. Drop-off and pick-up at Airlie Beach Lagoon, perfectly timed so you never have to worry about missing your ship.
Swim in crystal clear water, explore rock pools, eat homemade banana bread fresh from the oven, and let two knowledgeable local guides take care of everything else.
This is what a good day in the Whitsundays actually looks like.

1Airlie Beach
The Drive to Cedar Creek Falls. The day starts at Airlie Beach Lagoon, and from the moment you're on board, you'll notice this isn't your average day trip. Air-conditioned comfort, a small group, and guides who actually know this country — your 30- to 40-minute drive through the Whitsunday hinterland comes with real local history, stories about the region, and a genuine sense of anticipation as the rainforest starts to close in around you. By the time you arrive, you're already looking forward to what comes next.

Cedar Creek Falls This is where the day opens up. Your table and chairs are set up in a beautiful rainforest clearing when you arrive. Water shoes in every size are laid out and ready. Pool noodles, towels, sunscreen — it's all there. Swim in the crystal clear swimming holes, wade through rock pools above the falls, or simply sit with a cup of tea and a slice of homemade banana bread and let the rainforest do its thing. One of your guides plays ukulele while you relax. The other shares the history of Cedar Creek Falls and the surrounding area — how this place came to be, why it matters, and what you'd never find in a guidebook. You have up to two hours here. Take every minute of it.

3Airlie Beach
Happy, relaxed, and probably a little damp in the best possible way. Your guides keep the local knowledge and stories coming on the drive back, rounding out the picture of this part of Queensland that most visitors never get to see. You're back at Airlie Beach Lagoon in plenty of time — cruise ship passengers can return to port with hours to spare, and everyone else is free to explore the town, grab lunch, or simply sit by the lagoon and replay the morning.
