Itinerary
Tour Itinerary
The Drive Down (approx 1 hour 30 minutes
The Drive Down (approx. 1.5 hours) We head south from Airlie Beach in the early hours, so this is your chance to rest up before the magic happens. Get comfortable, close your eyes, and let us take care of the driving. Bring a pillow if you can — you'll thank yourself later.
Wild kangaroos and wallabies come down to the beach at first light 2 hours 30 minutes
Wild kangaroos and wallabies come down to the beach at first light. You'll stand a few metres away, watching them move through the low morning light — no fences, no feeding, just wildlife doing what it does at dawn. Cape Hillsborough National Park sits 1.5 hours south of Airlie Beach, where rainforest meets the Coral Sea. It's quiet, it's beautiful, and most visitors have never heard of it. We keep groups small — maximum 10 guests per guide — so there's no jostling for position and no rushing. Our guides are fully eco-certified and know this park well. They'll give you context without over-talking the moment. After the wildlife encounter, we sit down together for a homemade breakfast. Guests talk about it long after the tour. Return transport from Airlie Beach is included, so you don't need a car. If you want a genuine wildlife experience — not a performance — this is it. Book your spot before it fills.
The Drive Back (approx 1 hour 30 minutes
The Drive Back (approx. 1.5 hours) The world looks very different in the daylight. As we make our way back to Airlie Beach, keep your eyes on the window — ancient granite-topped mountains dating back millions of years rise up from the landscape, alongside pockets of lush rainforest and sweeping sugar cane fields. It's a beautiful end to the morning, and a reminder that the scenery here is special long after you leave the beach.
