Airlie Waterfalls and Rainforest Bushwalk Eco Tour

This half-day eco tour is a good pick if you want to see more of the natural side of Airlie beyond the town and waterfront. You’ll head out with an accredited Eco Nature guide for a mix of waterfalls and rainforest, with commentary that adds context on the local environment, wildlife and history. It suits travellers after a relaxed nature-focused outing, but it does require easy to moderate fitness. One thing to know before booking: waterfalls may not always be flowing.

The tour combines two main elements: time around the waterfalls and a bushwalk through lush rainforest. Along the way, your guide shares information about the Whitsundays region, including its flora, fauna and cultural heritage, so it is more than just a transfer to a lookout or swimming spot. Expect a laid-back pace overall, with some walking involved, and plan for conditions in nature to vary depending on recent weather. It is not recommended for children under five.
