Eungella Rainforest & Platypus Encounter Eco-Certified Day Trip into the Land of the Clouds
Come aboard for a day like no other as we leave Airlie Beach at 10 AM and head south into the lush Clarke Ranges. Tucked within these misty rainforest-clad mountains lies the spectacular Eungella National Park, part of the EcoTourism Australia–certified trail and one of Queensland’s most iconic natural treasures.
Spanning over 51,700 hectares, Eungella is Australia’s longest stretch of subtropical rainforest and has remained ecologically unique due to its thousands of years of isolation. The name Eungella means “Land of the Clouds” in the local Aboriginal language — and when you arrive, you'll understand why.
This ancient landscape is also one of the very few places in Australia where you can spot the elusive platypus in the wild. With a bit of luck (and a little patience), you’ll see one of these shy, fascinating creatures in its natural habitat — a moment that’s often the highlight of the day.
Lunch at the Pinnacle Family Hotel
We’ll stop for lunch at the iconic Pinnacle Family Hotel, where you’ll have time to relax and purchase lunch from the hotel’s menu — including their famous Pinnacle pies!
Lunch is at your own expense, giving you the freedom to choose exactly what you’d like to eat. If you’re travelling on a budget, have specific dietary requirements, or simply prefer to bring your own lunch, you’re more than welcome to do so.
With a relaxed pace, stunning scenery, and a strong focus on conservation, this tour is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience the quieter, greener side of North Queensland.
