Itinerary

  • Cape Hillsborough

    With an early pickup recline your seat with a blanket and sleep on the 1hr 40min drive south. As the first rays of sunlight touch the shores, watch in awe as Kangaroos and Wallabies emerge from the surrounding forest to greet the day and feed on the beach. Our experienced guides will share insights into the behaviour and habitats of these iconic marsupials, providing a deeper understanding of their daily routines and the significance of Cape Hillsborough as their dawn sanctuary.

    3 hours

  • Cape Hillsborough

    After the sunrise spectacle and wildlife encounter, we invite you to unwind with breakfast in the beautiful bush setting. Enjoy a delicious meal as you absorb the tranquillity of the morning, surrounded by the beauty of Cape Hillsborough.

    1 hour

  • Cape Hillsborough National Park

    While Kangaroos and Wallabies take centre stage, Cape Hillsborough offers a rich tapestry of coastal flora and fauna. From unique plant species to bird life, your accredited eco nature guide will provide insights on a bush walk to a spectacular lookout into the diverse ecosystem that thrives in this pristine coastal environment. A world renowned geological wonder scatters the beach and surrounding hills and you enjoy strolling along the fascinating volcanic rocks.

    1 hour

  • Airlie Beach

    After a Sunrise Encounter like no other, sit back and watch the beautiful scenery you missed on the drive down. Cane fields and cattle farming dominate with lush mountains as a scenic backdrop. We have an easy drive back to Airlie Beach where you still can take in more of the Whitsundays.

Worth it!

Published on Jan, 2025

That was definitely worth waking up at 3am. We got to see wild kangaroos. They were very friendly & would come really close, so got some amazing pictures & videos. Then we got a little hike in the rainforest. That was a lovely morning!

What an Amazing morning!

Wow what a Morning! Cherine was an Amazing Guide! Soo much nowlegde. Humor, she's fantastic! You could be so close to the kangaroos. This was a once in a lifetime!

Amazing trip 100% recommend!

Published on Oct, 2024

I went on the sunrise trip with Cherene and it was wonderful. We spent time with the wallabies on the beach and did a nice bushwalk to a viewpoint. Cherene js a great guide; upbeat, passionate about nature and super friendly. 100% recommend to take a tour with her. The tours are all done by herself and are small group tours which really makes for e nice personal experience.

Amazing tour with wonderful guide!

This trip was amazing! Sherene was incredible , she picked is up right on time , It was early and cold and she had blankets and neck pillows ready for us in the car , so sweet! So I was able to sleep wonderfully for another hour , once we arrived it was raining a little bit and she even had umbrellas for all of us. We were perfectly in time for the sunrise and there were kangaroos and walibis , after this we did a beautiful hike and she told us all about nature and animals , she knew a lot about it! After the hike she even had breakfast for us with coffee , tea , chai , milo , cookies , fruit , yogurt. In short ; this was a great tour and I would definitely book it
