Full-Day Wild Platypus Encounter with Rainforest Walks & Lunch
Venture deep into the ancient rainforest of Eungella National Park for a full-day encounter with one of Australia’s most elusive creatures. Departing Airlie Beach, you’ll journey south through the lush Clarke Ranges to Broken River — one of the world’s most reliable spots to observe the shy and extraordinary platypus in the wild.
Spanning more than 51,700 hectares of subtropical rainforest, Eungella has remained ecologically isolated for thousands of years, earning it the name “Land of the Clouds” in the local Aboriginal language. Explore scenic boardwalks and rainforest lookouts as your EcoTourism Australia–certified guide shares the secrets of this ancient landscape.
After a morning on the water’s edge, refuel with a hearty included lunch at the Pinnacle Hotel before returning to Airlie Beach — rested, nourished, and with memories of one of Australia’s great wildlife encounters.
