Yardie Creek boat tours take you into a towering limestone gorge in Cape Range National Park where a guided 45 to 60 minute cruise gives you up close views of towering cliffs, nesting coastal birds and rock wallabies on the ledges.

Tours are small and friendly, book ahead during the busy season (roughly April to October) and expect limited facilities on site; bring water, sun protection, a camera and binoculars.

Boarding involves steps and the boats are best suited to people with reasonable mobility, and tours can be cancelled for weather or tides, so check the operator’s updates the morning of your trip.
