Dawn arrives slow and deliberate over the Queensland coast: the sky shifts through diluted pinks while waves nudge low-tide wrack onto the sand. Small groups spill from an air-conditioned minibus and move quietly toward the shoreline, where wallabies and eastern grey kangaroos appear between dunes and mangrove roots to feed on seed pods washed up by the tide.

5 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; short, gentle shoreline walking on sand and uneven rock.
Sightings are very likely at sunrise because wallabies commonly feed on seed pods washed to the shore, but wildlife is never 100% guaranteed.
Pickups are arranged from Mackay and nearby points pre-dawn; your booking will confirm exact pickup time and location.
The tour is rated easy and suitable for most people, but the shoreline can be uneven; it is not recommended for travelers with serious spinal or cardiovascular conditions.
The activity focuses on wildlife viewing and breakfast; ocean conditions and stinger season may make swimming unsafe — check with your guide before entering the water.
The Cape Hillsborough area sits within the traditional country of local Aboriginal groups; guides sometimes share cultural perspectives on coastal use and species relationships.
