What you can expect:
Discover the unparalleled scenic beauty of the region with our 90-minute Hinchinbrook Island Flight, an experience that goes beyond the wonders of our 60-minute Palm Island Group Scenic Flight. Hinchinbrook Island, visible from afar, presents a dramatic landscape with its mountainous spine and the mist-enshrouded summit of Mount Bowen, standing tall at 1142m (3746ft).
Seasonal creeks weave through the island, creating spectacular waterfalls like Mulligan and Zoe Falls. These waterways meander through rainforests and woodlands, forming estuaries that meet the sea. The eastern coastline of Hinchinbrook is adorned with abrupt headlands, secluded coves, and untouched sandy beaches, offering views of pure, unspoiled beauty.
Notably, the island’s northern Mission Bay and the western Hinchinbrook Channel boast one of Australia’s most extensive and ecologically significant mangrove habitats. These mangroves play a crucial role in the island’s ecosystem.
The flight also provides an opportunity to glimpse historical remnants, including the crash site of the American B-42 Liberator Bomber, known as the Texas-Terror, at the island’s southern point. Around Hinchinbrook, five shipwrecks tell tales of the past, with the 130-year-old brigantine Belle visible in Ramsey Bay under the right tidal conditions.
Join us for this extraordinary flight, offering not just breathtaking views but also a journey through the natural and historical treasures of Hinchinbrook Island.
