EXPLORE HINCHINBROOK ISLAND

Explore the iconic Hinchinbrook Island National Park (Munamudanamy). Protected since 1932, Hinchinbrook Island is one of Australia’s largest Island National Parks located within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.

It’s renowned for its mountainous scenery, dense rainforests, mysterious wetlands, pristine beaches and hiking.

The Thorsborne Trail is widely regarded as one of Australia’s premier multi-day hiking experiences, attracting adventurers from across the country and around the world. Renowned for its pristine natural beauty and challenging yet rewarding terrain, the trail offers hikers the opportunity to immerse themselves in a truly unique wilderness setting.

HIKING HINCHINBROOK ISLAND

Your journey begins with an island transfer to the breathtaking Ramsay Bay, which will be your  first glimpse of Hinchinbrook’s wild east coast.

Wander the untouched shoreline beneath the rugged heights of Mount Bowen, North Queensland’s third tallest peak. Then, take on the climb to Nina Peak, where sweeping views over Ramsay Bay and Missionary Bay reward every step of the adventure.

THORSBORNE TRAIL HIKE

To truly experience the Thorsborne Trail, allow at least four days and three nights on the island. Along the way, you’ll navigate winding mangrove forests, climb rugged heath-covered peaks, cross tranquil melaleuca swamps, stroll pristine beaches, and immerse yourself in lush tropical rainforest.

Access is limited to preserve the untouched wilderness. Permits must be secured in advance through Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), with only 40 hikers permitted on the trail at any one time. Group sizes are capped at six, ensuring a remote and intimate adventure

From cascading waterfalls to secluded beaches and dramatic mountain ranges, Hinchinbrook Island is nature at its most raw and magical. Discover Zoe Falls, where crystal-clear waters tumble into a rainforest-fringed swimming hole, easily reached from Zoe Bay.

For those on the Thorsborne Trail, Mulligan Falls offers one of the island’s most accessible and inviting spots and is a perfect place to rest, recharge, and cool off beneath the falls

Great company. Ben went above and beyond to provide hikers with important information and interesting details on the Thorsborne Trail on the boat trip out.

I strongly recommend taking the ferry from Cardwell to Hinchinbrook Island with Hinchinbrook Island Cruises. Ashley and Ben were super friendly, they provided valuable information about the Thornsborne Trail, communication was super easy and they even waited for us after the hike with cold beers - invaluable!

We had a fantastic experience with our transfers to Hinchinbrook. New owners Ash and Ben were extremely helpful with our logistical challenges (they really saved the day multiple times), and had a great knowledge of the area and surrounds. Thanks again!
Grant Robinson
Great service from Ben and Ash - efficient, comfortable and safe. They even went the extra mile going to check our car for us when we panicked about not locking the doors which was much appreciated. Ben is a great driver and bloke and very informative. Highly recommend
