About this activity

Experience two of Australia’s most iconic wildlife encounters on this unforgettable two-day eco adventure from Airlie Beach. Travel to the rainforest mountains of Eungella National Park to search for elusive wild platypus in their natural habitat before continuing to Cape Hillsborough for the famous sunrise beach kangaroo experience.

Watch kangaroos and wallabies gather naturally along the shoreline as the sun rises over the beach in one of Australia’s most photographed wildlife moments. Along the way, enjoy scenic rainforest landscapes, coastal views, authentic local hospitality, overnight accommodation, and small-group eco-certified touring.

Unlike wildlife parks, this experience focuses on observing native Australian animals respectfully in the wild. Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, couples, and travellers wanting to experience the real Australia beyond the reef.
