  • Hinchinbrook Island Group Itin
    SOUTHERN SEA VENTURES AUSTRALIA Hinchinbrook Island Group North Queensland Paddling Adventure Seven day trip SOUTHERN SEA VENTURES Australia: Hinchinbrook Island Group Seven day sea kayak trip Hinchinbrook Island, Goold Island and the Family Islands are located along the tropical coast between Ingham and Tully in North Queensland. Hinchinbrook's 39,000 hectares makes it Australia's largest island national park and part of the Great Barrier Reef UNESCO World Heritage listing, due to its unique fora and fauna. With granite peaks rising 1142 metres directly out of the sea, Hinchinbrook Island is a magnifcent backdrop for sea kayaking. Waterfalls, tropical rainforests, precipitous headlands, coral reefs and secluded beaches are among the island’s treasures. The island is perhaps the last remnant of the eastern coastline that remains exactly as it was before white settlement of Australia. After four to fve days exploring Hinchinbrook Island, our paddles continue north to Goold Island. We camp with beautiful views of the Family Islands to the north and the towering peaks of Hinchinbrook to the south. From Goold we continue north to picturesque Wheeler Island, one of the Family Island group. We spend our last night here before paddling to Dunk Island for our fnal lunch. From there it is a short paddle back to mainland Australia where we make landfall at South Mission Beach and end our trip. Using our specially designed sea kayaks, we paddle approximately 90 kilometres over seven days. Most days allow for some island time in the afternoon to walk, snorkel or just relax in a hammock. Each evening ends with a gourmet meal cooked by our skilled guides who are just as handy with a chef’s knife as they are with a paddle.
