Hinchinbrook Island – Australia’s Largest Island National Park

While many natural tourist spots are closed due to inaccessibility caused by recently flooding, Hinchinbrook Island remains open.

Hinchinbrook Island is a breathtaking haven of unspoiled natural beauty, it offers an unparalleled escape into the wild, boasting rugged mountains, lush rainforests, beautiful waterfalls and secluded beaches.

Thorsborne Trail
The Thorsborne Trail is Hinchinbrook Islands main attraction, the 32-kilometre long hike takes adventurers anywhere between three to five days to complete. During the hot summer months 1 January – 28 February the trail is closed. The Thorsborne Trail attracts avid hikers from across the country. On the trail adventures catch glimpse of mangroves, forests, beaches, waterfalls and mountains. The 32-kilometre long trail is not for the average walker either, it is difficult trail and is categorised as a Class 5 hiking experience.

Currently only 40 people are able to walk the Thorsborne Trail at the same time, but upgrades to come will allow 60 people to do the walk. With the limited number allowed to access the trail at one time, it makes it an extremely popular and sought after attraction. But if you don’t fancy a three-to-five-day hike, day trips are also available.

Zoe Falls
Day trips are available to Hinchinbrook Island too, and Zoe Falls is the most recognisable places on Hinchinbrook Island. Spend time at the waterfall and jump into the refreshing waters, or venture a bit further to catch one of the best views on the island. Sit back in one of the rock pools and look out at the view before you.

Mulligan falls
Mulligan Falls is also a popular destination on the island for day trippers, the picturesque waterfall has a deep swimming hole, perfect for a quick dip. However although the pool is safe to swim in, anything further is restricted.
