With its vast expanse of 22,500 hectares, it is the largest area of lowland tropical rainforest in Queensland outside Tropical North Queensland. This makes it a popular choice for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers.

The park offers walk-in bush camping, allowing visitors to explore the diverse flora and fauna on foot.

There are also several walking tracks of varying difficulty, providing opportunities to explore the beautiful rainforest at one's own pace. Hiking enthusiasts can take on the 30km Whitsunday Great Walk to experience the rugged beauty of the Conway Range.

One of the park's highlights is its unique flora and fauna. Visitors can encounter various plant species such as dry vine thicket, mangroves, open forests with a grasstree understorey, paperbark, and pandanus woodlands. Birdwatchers will be delighted to know that the park is home to two mound-building birds, the Australian brush-turkey and the orange-footed scrubfowl. Other interesting species like wallabies, goannas, and bandicoots can also be spotted within the park.

With an average elevation of 44 meters, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding tropical rainforest. It is advisable to bring insect repellent and wear suitable clothing for bushwalking when visiting the park.
