Conway National Park is a protected area of dense tropical rainforest and rugged hills just south of Airlie Beach. Visitors can explore several walking tracks that wind through ancient trees, vine thickets, and along ridges. The park is a haven for birdwatchers, with species like the brilliant wompoo fruit-dove. Lookouts provide sweeping vistas of the Coral Sea and Whitsunday Islands. The most popular route is the Conway Circuit, a full-day hike that showcases the park's diverse landscapes.

- Hike the Conway Circuit for a challenging full-day trek through rainforest and open ridges.
- Spot colorful birdlife, including kingfishers and fruit-doves, in the canopy.
- Take in the view from the Mount Rooper lookout, accessible via a shorter walk.
