Platypus Tour that's Eco-certified, wildlife-rich, and proudly Aussie — this is a rainforest wildlife experience like no other.
Highlights

Eco-Certified Day Trip to the Land of the Clouds
Join us for an unforgettable day as we depart Airlie Beach at 11:30 AM and journey south into the lush Clarke Ranges. Nestled in these mist-covered, rainforest-clad mountains lies the breathtaking Eungella National Park—part of the EcoTourism Australia–certified trail and one of Queensland’s most treasured natural wonders.
Covering over 51,700 hectares, Eungella boasts the longest stretch of subtropical rainforest in Australia. Its isolation over thousands of years has preserved its rich biodiversity, making it a truly unique ecosystem. The name Eungella, meaning “Land of the Clouds” in the local Aboriginal language, perfectly captures the mystical beauty you’ll encounter upon arrival.
One of the park’s most memorable highlights is the chance to see the elusive platypus in its natural habitat. With a little patience (and some luck), you may spot this shy, iconic creature—a magical experience that’s often the highlight of the day.
Lunch at Pinnacle Family Hotel
We’ll stop at the Pinnacle Family Hotel—where a world-famous Pinnacle Pie is on us.
With its relaxed pace, spectacular scenery, and focus on conservation, this eco-certified tour is ideal for nature lovers, keen photographers, and anyone wanting to discover the quieter, greener side of North Queensland.
Fuel recovery surcharge- a short term fuel surcharge of $5 per person is payable on the day of travel direct to the tour operator to help cover increased fuel costs over this time and is not included in the price paid below.
