What you can expect
Come aboard for a day like no other as you leave Airlie Beach at 11.30 AM and head south into the lush Clarke Ranges. Tucked within these misty rainforest-clad mountains lies the spectacular Eungella National Park, part of the EcoTourism Australia–certified trail and one of Queensland’s most iconic natural treasures.
Spanning over 51,700 hectares, Eungella is Australia’s longest stretch of subtropical rainforest and has remained ecologically unique due to its thousands of years of isolation. The name Eungella means “Land of the Clouds” in the local Aboriginal language, and when you arrive, you'll understand why.
This ancient landscape is also one of the very few places in Australia where you can spot the elusive platypus in the wild. With a bit of luck (and a little patience), you’ll see one of these shy, fascinating creatures in its natural habitat, a moment that’s often the highlight of the day.
With a relaxed pace, stunning scenery, and a strong focus on conservation, this tour is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience the quieter, greener side of North Queensland.

A fantastic experience
Had a wonderful day. The pie for lunch was very nice and a great size meal. The guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and patient. We were able to spend plenty of time watching 2 platypus in different locations.

Beautiful day in non-salty air :)
This is a wonderful change of scene to the water/reef related activity that are usually associated with Airlie Beach: our knowledgeable, energetic, fun and caring guide Cara drove us through the beautiful hinterland and up through the rainforest to Eungella National Park, where we actually spotted a platypus! Along the way we learned about local history and flora and fauna. We stopped for fantastic homemade pies for lunch, enjoyed views of the lush hinterland valleys from an old chalet, visited a bat colony and hiked through the rainforest. Thanks for the lovely day, Cara! Treating us with your home made muffins and Easter eggs was very special!
