Cape Hillsborough

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.

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.
Cape Hillsborough National Park

one hour Admission included

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.
