I had a great time hiking solo on hinchinbrook island. It was pretty hot in November so I recommend going in winter/spring. I ran into a few other hikers while I was there and shared camp sites most nights but had the days to myself. My phone fell in the first creek crossing so I recommend using a clip seal bag if your phone isn’t waterproof haha. My adventure turned into a tech detox too! I recommend transfers with hinchinbrook island cruises for great info and easy transfers. And make sure you have your permits handy as the rangers come a round to the camp sites.

We stopped here to see the Bush Telegraph and the Centre next door. The lady was so welcoming. We learnt about the way of life in the early settlement of Cardwell and about Yasi. So much to see and so much history. Nothing was too much trouble, the lady was fantastic with our young kids Will be back again

Reviewed By lauras_farm - Cairns, Australia
We visited today as a day trip from Cairns. Easy drive off the highway with the last section being a gravel road (2wd was fine). We have had plenty of rain the past few weeks and could see where the water had gone across the road, so if taking a 2wd be careful! Bottom car park is beside the creek and plenty of spots for swimming as water was high and flowing. Walked up to the top carpark and camp ground which had toilet facilities. Easy walk along a boardwalk to base of falls. Water was gushing and was a sight to see. Swim in the waterhole was lovely and refreshing.
