What you can expect

Did you know you could embark on a real-life Jurassic paradise in Mackay, Queensland? This tour is your passport to explore Australia’s longest stretch of sub-tropical rainforests on a guided hike to the Finch Hatton Gorge within the Eungella National Park. Begin with a local pickup from Mackay before embarking on a scenic drive into the charming cane fields that line the Pioneer Valley. Listen to ancient stories of colonial times before you arrive at the beginning of the trail. Hike through lush foliage to discover the hidden gems of Finch Hatton Gorge that lead you to a secluded swimming hole where you’re welcome to take a refreshing dip. The next stop is Eungella to go platypus spotting before enjoying a lunch and beer at one of the Pioneer Valley’s favourite pubs. It doesn’t get much better or more Aussie than this.
