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.
A Classic Aussie Lunch in the Clouds
After exploring the rainforest and soaking up the sights and sounds of nature, we’ll pause for a true Aussie classic—a sizzling sausage on fresh bread with onions and sauce. It’s just like your favourite Bunnings snag, but served with sweeping mountain views and the fresh, crisp air of the rainforest.
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.

From Eungella Platypus Tour - Half Day Tour from Airlie Beach
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We’re really glad you enjoyed your day with D. We also wished the platypus showed up, but we’re happy the rest of the tour was still a great experience for you. Hope to see you again soon, maybe next time we’ll get lucky!
