About this tour
This 3-hour return trip from Airlie Beach takes you straight into the Whitsunday hinterland to Cedar Creek Falls, where a rainforest walk delivers you to a granite-framed waterfall and natural swimming pool. Run by an Eco Tourism Australia–certified operator, the half-day outing suits cruise passengers and families after genuine bush without the long drive. Morning or afternoon tea comes included; the rainforest does the rest.

- 30-minute drive to genuine rainforest, no long transfers
- Shaded walking trails through wet-season lush growth
- Morning or afternoon tea with fresh fruit and cake
- Air-conditioned coach; cruise-ship timetable friendly

What to expect
The coach collects you from Airlie Beach and rolls inland for half an hour to reach the rainforest car park. A gentle walking track winds through thick bush, with the sound of water building as you approach. The falls drop hard over ancient stone into a clear pool—swim, wade, or simply stand under the spray if you prefer. The walk back is the same shaded route. Tea and refreshments are served before or after, depending on your time slot. Bring a towel and sunscreen; neither is supplied.
Good to know
Prams and strollers work fine on the walking track. Service animals welcome. No towel hire, so carry your own. From April 2026, a $3 fuel surcharge applies at check-in. Infants travel free but must sit on an adult's lap.
