*Please note this tour requires some degree of adventure, there is a small river stream to cross, and several stairs to reach the second waterfall.
We spend most of the day in the pristine Eungella National Park known as the “Land of the Clouds” by local Aboriginal tribes, experiencing our largest Waterfalls and Swimming holes, bird spotting, and searching for the elusive Platypus. *Guests can opt to bring their own picnic lunch or purchase a takeaway lunch to enjoy at the falls.
Eungella is over 50,000 hectares and is Australia’s oldest and longest stretch of subtropical rainforest! This one-day tour is a tranquil and fascinating excursion that begins with scenic drive inland.
It is an easy walk into the rain forest before we arrive at the first waterfall. The rain forest provides ample shade throughout the easy-to-follow track, along the way we pass some unusually large granite boulders, We often see and hear a variety of birds, including the Eungella Honey Eater, found only in this national park! The walks have an abundance of fascinating trees, plants, berries, mushrooms, fungi and all the different shapes and colours on this tour.
After exploring and enjoying the first waterfall and swimming hole, we set off on a hike to the second waterfall ‘Wheel of Fire’, it is a steep climb upstairs and across a river, but well worth the climb. Located in the valley of the mountain, framed by lush rain forests, palms and tree ferns. Most of the time we have it to ourselves! 'Wheel of Fire' is a much larger waterfall that cascades the entire face of the mountain and swimming hole that is wide and an array of different depths. Here we swim, sunbake and explore.
Optional Extra: Zipline through the rain forest canopy with Forest Flying * $90 per person (must be pre-booked by emailing us @ info@igotravel.com.au . Terms and Conditions apply)
