Depart Airlie Beach bright and early every Tuesday— 3:00 or 4:00 AM, depending on the season — to catch a truly iconic Australian moment: kangaroos and wallabies at sunrise on the beach at Cape Hillsborough National Park.

Just 1.5 hours south of Airlie, Cape Hillsborough is world-famous for this magical wildlife encounter. Each morning, kangaroos and wallabies make their way onto the beach to feed as the sun rises — creating an unforgettable scene that feels like something out of a postcard.
This experience is part of our EcoTourism Australia–certified tour, carefully designed to respect the animals and environment while giving you a front-row seat to nature at its finest.

After the Sunrise…
Once the cameras are full and the kangaroos have hopped off, we’ll head into Zarby’s Retro Café, a local favourite with classic charm. Here, you can buy yourself a hearty breakfast and a proper coffee to warm up, relax, and soak in the retro vibes.

    It's an early start: We leave Airlie Beach at 4:30 a.m. to watch the kangaroos on the beach at sunrise at the stunning Cape Hillsborough National Park. 1.5 hours south of Airlie Beach, the beach at Cape Hillsborough has gained international recognition for its sunrise kangaroos and wallabies experience. Every morning, the kangaroos and wallabies come down to the beach at sunrise to feed on seaweed and mangrove seed pods, and they don’t mind posing for a few photos! The sunrises here are breathtaking; you’ll quickly understand why it has become such a popular spot.
