Cedar Creek Falls Eco Tour and Swim, 3 Hours - Airlie Beach

Venture inland from Airlie Beach on a three hour eco certified tour to Cedar Creek Falls, where the rainforest closes in and a cool waterhole waits. Your local guide reads the landscape on the way in, so you know exactly what you are looking at when you arrive. Two full hours are yours at the falls, so hit the water, swim beneath the cascade and feel the chill land after the tropical heat.

Between swims, watch the banks and shallows for turtles, fish, butterflies and birdlife, and let the guide talk you through the ecology and history of the place. Morning or afternoon tea keeps the tank topped up, and return transfers mean the ride back is someone else’s job. The falls run year round and surge hardest in the wet season or after recent rainfall.
