Hinchinbrook Channel Wildlife Cruise with Lunch - Half Day
Highlights & inclusions
What you can expect
Head out from Lucinda on a half-day cruise along the full length of Hinchinbrook Channel, one of Tropical North Queensland's most pristine waterways. Wind past 110 kilometres of secluded beaches and rugged coastline, with mangrove forests lining the water's edge the whole way through. Look out for saltwater crocodiles, sea turtles, sea eagles and coastal birdlife, and seasonal dugongs. Relax on board as your local skipper shares stories of the region's history, ecology and Indigenous heritage along the way.
Cruise into hidden corners of the channel around Deluge Inlet and Haycock Island, places most visitors never get to see. At lunchtime, drop anchor at a secluded beachfront spot on Hinchinbrook Island for fresh salad wraps, tea, coffee and a selection of cold drinks before continuing through this remarkable stretch of coastline. Blending wildlife, wilderness and quiet beach stops, this half-day cruise brings one of Queensland's hidden natural treasures into easy reach.
