About this experience
What to expect
Hop on our cosy ride as we journey through time and nature. But hold on because this tour isn't just about soaking up the sights – it's about immersing yourself in the heart of Yuwi country and discovering the stories of this ancient land.
As we roll through the charming little communities of the Pioneer Valley, you'll be transported back to colonial times with tales of the Valley's unique story. It's like a history class, but way cooler.
Lace up your hiking boots, because we're about to unveil one of nature's secret treasures – Finch Hatton Gorge. We will hike through lush foliage, with birds serenading you to crystal-clear waters inviting you to take a dip with a beautiful waterfall in the background.
Oh, did someone say lunch? Absolutely! We have a great story about our lunch!
Next stop? The charming town of Eungella perched high up on the range. But we're not just here to take in the breathtaking views, we've got a mission: platypus spotting. These elusive creatures are like the celebrities of the animal kingdom, and we're determined to catch a glimpse. Will you be lucky enough?
