See the Whitsunday hinterland like a local on this four hour sightseeing bus tour from Airlie Beach. Start at Whitsunday Gold Coffee Plantation, one of only two or three working coffee farms on Australia's entire east coast. Walk the grounds, learn how the beans are grown and roasted, and taste the result.

Next is Cedar Creek Falls, a rainforest waterfall and natural pool home to freshwater turtles and native wildlife. At Conway Beach, where rainforest meets the Coral Sea, your guide runs a turtle habitat talk that families love.

Lunch is at George's Diner, a retro 1950s diner at Conway Beach (own expense). Your local guide brings the region's history and wildlife to life throughout, and is consistently the most talked about part of the tour in guest reviews. Small group, eco certified, runs rain or shine with minimal walking. A Best of Queensland Gold Award 2026 winner.
