Cool Activities
 With over 50,000 hectares of rainforest and national park around you, there is so much to see and do that you could easily spend many weeks at Broken River Mountain Resort. Or you could simply retreat to your lodge for a blissful few days away from the world.
Nature spotting & walks
Apart from spotting platypus and over 225 species of birds in their natural habitats, you can embark on 4WD bush adventures, take guided rainforest walks, or even arrange your own personalised national park tour. The resort 4WD will even take you to set local track entrances allowing you to walk back to Broken River at your own pace through the amazing rainforests.
Half day canoe adventures
 
Half day canoe adventures are on request and subject to water levels. Cost is AUD$60 per person (minimum 4 persons) and includes smoko (morning tea) on the shore of Eungella Dam.
 
 Spotlighting adventures
By arrangement guests can join one of our resident environmentalists, spotlighting for nocturnal animals in the national park.
Their
immense knowledge of the area will give you a wider understanding of this unique habitat and the creatures that live here. These tours run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and are complimentary for resort guests. Personalised spotlighting tours may be arranged on other nights at a cost of AUD$70 per family.
 Short drives & local attractions
Within a short drive of Broken River Mountain Resort you will discover amazing views, deep rainforest canopies, mountain  streams and even waterfalls. The roads are a mix of bitumen and graded soil but are well suited to the standard 2WD vehicles. Those guests with 4WD will be able to explore even further. If  you are planning to be touring during lunch talk to our chef about one of our sensational picnic hampers stocked with wonderful goodies to satisfy your appetite and thirst.

- Crediton Loop - a return trip around the Crediton plateau offers superb mountain views to Mt Dalrymple and the Broken River catchment area. Deep rainforest canopies and old bridges are a highlight on the easy drive. Round trip from resort - 22km

- Finch-Hatton Gorge - further down the valley from Eungella, this beautiful gorge has waterfalls that flow all year
 round, fresh-water swimming holes, wonderful walking tracks, Forest Flying and a picnic area with tables. Within the Finch
 Hatton Gorge, there are a couple of magnificent walking trails. The shorter walk is 1.6km (one way), taking you to the small, but pretty Araluen Falls. It returns along the same path, however, it also makes up the first section of the longer walk (which is definitely worth the extra distance). The longer walk continues on to the Wheel of Fire Falls, and is a total of 3km (one way). The scenery along the walks is wonderful, with a variety of plants and trees. Round trip from resort - 52km
