About this tour
Spend four hours exploring Airlie's twin waterfalls and rainforest interior with a guide who knows the Whitsundays intimately. You'll walk through thick bush, learn about local ecology and Aboriginal heritage, and get a genuine sense of what lies inland from the coastal strip. An accredited eco guide leads the way at a relaxed pace, sharing insights into native plants, wildlife, and the landscape's story. Bring moderate fitness and expect a proper outdoor experience—this isn't a manicured walk.

What to expect
You'll be collected and driven into the hinterland, then set out on foot through dense rainforest canopy. The track winds between native trees and vines; your guide points out bird calls, tree species, and signs of local wildlife. You'll reach the first waterfall—water flow varies by season—and have time to take in the pool and surroundings. The second waterfall follows a similar rhythm. Expect humid air, uneven terrain, and plenty of stops for commentary. The pace is steady rather than rushed, giving you breathing space to absorb the environment. Return journey includes a cool-down with provided snacks.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes and bring water. Waterfall flow depends on recent rainfall, so don't expect a torrent. Not suitable for children under five. Moderate fitness essential—this involves genuine bush terrain, not boardwalks. Lunch isn't included; eat beforehand or pack your own.
