About

Rising steeply behind Airlie Beach the Conway Ranges and Peninsular provide a 35km backdrop to the Whitsunday Islands and Whitsunday Passage. This park includes the rainforest-clad Conway Peninsula and protects the largest area of lowland tropical rainforest in Queensland outside Tropical North Queensland. Over tens of thousands of years and through climate fluctuations, the rainforest has persisted here, providing a continuous refuge for native plants and wildlife. Also providing a region for traditional land owners, the Ngaro and Gia people to roam the forests, harvesting riches of the land and the adjoining sea country.

This riding experience will be a highlight of your trip. As we climb and descend 15km along old logging tracks and across two seasonal creeks into the valleys of Conway National Park, we will learn about the ancient rainforest wilderness and wildlife from our experienced guides.
