Car
From any location in the Whitsunday Islands, head to Proserpine. If you're starting from Airlie Beach, take Shute Harbour Road and follow the signs for Proserpine. Once in Proserpine, turn onto the Bruce Highway (A1) heading south. After approximately 10 kilometers, exit onto the Eungella Dam Road. Follow this road for about 34 kilometers until you reach the Eungella National Park entrance. Please note that there may be a small fee for parking at the park entrance.
Public Transportation
If you're relying on public transportation, take a bus from Airlie Beach to Proserpine. Once you arrive in Proserpine, you will need to hire a taxi to take you to Eungella National Park, as public transportation options to the park itself are limited. The taxi ride from Proserpine to Eungella National Park typically costs around AUD 70-90. Ensure you arrange for a return taxi as well, as it may take some time to get back to Proserpine.
Combination (Car and Walking)
For those who prefer to explore on foot after driving, park your car at the Eungella National Park entrance. From there, you can enjoy various walking trails. The park offers several options, including the popular Eungella Rainforest Walk, which is about 1.6 kilometers and provides stunning views of the surrounding rainforest and wildlife. Make sure to wear appropriate footwear and bring water, as you will be walking in a natural environment.
