Itinerario

1. With an early pickup recline your seat with a blanket and sleep on the 1hr 40min drive south. As the first rays of sunlight touch the shores, watch in awe as Kangaroos and Wallabies emerge from the surrounding forest to greet the day and feed on the beach. Our experienced guides will share insights into the behaviour and habitats of these iconic marsupials, providing a deeper understanding of their daily routines and the significance of Cape Hillsborough as their dawn sanctuary.

   3 h

2. After the sunrise spectacle and wildlife encounter, we invite you to unwind with breakfast in the beautiful bush setting. Enjoy a delicious meal as you absorb the tranquillity of the morning, surrounded by the beauty of Cape Hillsborough.

3. While Kangaroos and Wallabies take centre stage, Cape Hillsborough offers a rich tapestry of coastal flora and fauna. From unique plant species to bird life, your accredited eco nature guide will provide insights on a bush walk to a spectacular lookout into the diverse ecosystem that thrives in this pristine coastal environment. A world renowned geological wonder scatters the beach and surrounding hills and you enjoy strolling along the fascinating volcanic rocks.

4. After a Sunrise Encounter like no other, sit back and watch the beautiful scenery you missed on the drive down. Cane fields and cattle farming dominate with lush mountains as a scenic backdrop. We have an easy drive back to Airlie Beach where you still can take in more of the Whitsundays.

• 5Wonderful

  This experience was simply magical but it wouldn't have been possible without Cherene, she was amazing! She made sure we would get on the beach on time and see everything from the right spot. She took pictures of us and also brought us to a beautiful lookout. She treated us to a nice breakfast, which we really appreciated. Overall everything was just perfect!

• 5Beautiful sunrise

  Charene was a great host! We saw one kangaroo and a few wallabies (including a joey), and the most beautiful sunrise. Was definitely worth the early wake up!! Thank you :)

• 5Amazing experience!

  Can’t say enough about how great this experience was. It’s an early morning, but Cherene does a great job making it comfortable. She arrives with blankets and neck pillows and even encourages a little extra sleep on the way to Cape Hillsborough. Seeing the kangaroos and wallabies at sunrise is an incredible experience. The small group size also makes it feel more personal and enjoyable. Cherene clearly loves what she does, and it shows throughout the tour. Despite the early wake up, it’s absolutely worth it.

• 5Great guide, Wherever, great tour

  We have just returned from a FABULOUS tour with Cherene, Driftwood Tours, Sunrise with the Kangaroos. Cherene communicates excellently in arranging, preparing and conducting her tour. She drives perfectly, is safety conscious, informative, helpful with an awesome, friendly personality. BTW she is an EXCELLENT photographer as well. Highly recommend Cherene and her agency. Doesn't get any better. Almost forgot, TERRIFIC sense of humor. Thanks a million Cherene for a great day. Dave and Phyllis Stolls California

• 5Australians must do this !!

  I would highly recommend this activity to anyone, as a fellow Australian, I would encourage Aussies to try it out, too! The drive passed quickly. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful. The beach was stunning; there was plenty of time to watch the wallabies and kangaroos eat on the beach. Right now one of the wallabies has a baby in her pouch (adorable!). The park rangers were happy to answer any questions and were very knowledgeable and approachable. After this, we took a short 15 minute trek up to the lookout. We went after it had been raining, it was slippery but we were welcome to move at our own pace and umbrellas were provided. Our guide, Cherene, was exceptional. She ensured everyone felt comfortable and went out of her way to do so. She was very knowledgeable and respectful of the natural environment. Do not be discouraged by the early start time. Tip: bring insect repellant spray and be on time for your pickup !
