Beach Sunrise with the Wallabies

Beach Sunrise with the Wallabies

The most picturesque time to see the wallabies and kangaroos on the beach at Cape Hillsborough is at sunrise.

This fully guided tour is with a friendly and knowledgeable Mackay local guide.

Arrive at the national park at dawn to catch a glimpse of the wallabies and kangaroos that come to the shoreline to feed on mangrove seed pods washed up by the tide. Spend time on the beach and take in all the beauty of the sunrise.

The 11-seater air-conditioned bus allows a comfortable adventure in a small group environment as we take you to explore the Cape Hillsborough National Park, where the rainforest meets the sea.

Departs: Sep – Mar 4 am / Apr – Aug 5 am

Returns: Approx 9.30 am/ 10.30 am

Please note: The wallabies and kangaroos at Cape Hillsborough are wild animals and are free to come and go as they wish, the number of animals on the beach varies day by day.

Platypus Paradise Tour

Platypus Paradise Tour

Get ready for an adventure that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a real-life Jurassic paradise! Hop on their cosy ride as you journey through time and nature. Immerse yourself in the heart of Yuwi country and discovering the stories of this ancient land.

As you roll through the charming little communities of the Pioneer Valley, you’ll be transported back to colonial times with tales of the Valley’s unique story.

Lace up your hiking boots, because you’re about to unveil one of nature’s secret treasures – Finch Hatton Gorge. Hike through lush foliage, with birds serenading you to crystal-clear waters inviting you to take a dip with a beautiful waterfall in the background.

Next stop? The charming town of Eungella perched high up on the range. But you’re not just here to take in the breathtaking views, you’ve got a mission: platypus spotting. Will you be lucky enough?
Platypus sightings are not guaranteed but they know the best spots for the best chance!
