An early start getting up and about before dawn to witness the wallabies and kangaroos at Cape Hillsborough National Park. This sunrise tour is an iconic wildlife experience, where Eastern Grey Kangaroos and Agile Wallabies come onto the beach to feed on mangrove seed pods. Nowhere else in the wild will you get so close, and such a wonderful opportunity to capture a magical moment of sunrise on the beach with our national symbol. Continuing our adventure, we drive along the picturesque Hibiscus Coast, enjoying the scenic views of lush rainforests, sugar cane fields, and coastal views. We arrive at the Whitsundays mid-morning and experience the thrill of a crocodile safari cruise and explore lush wetlands. Spot saltwater crocs in their natural habitat, discover unique wildlife, and savour a delicious BBQ lunch before making our way to our hotel.
