Hill Inlet Lookout Track, Whitsunday Islands National Park

On Whitsunday Island within the Whitsunday Islands National Park, take an uphill stroll to twin lookouts offering stunning vistas over Hill Inlet’s turquoise waters and white sweeping sands.

From lookouts on the crest of Tongue Bay, admire breathtaking vistas over the inlet and marvel at the ever-changing shapes of blue water and white silica sand created by the moving tides.

All the lookouts have excellent views, so if the first one is too crowded, simply move on to the next lookout platform.

Watch for migratory wading birds foraging in the shallow waters, and stingrays and sharks cruising out in the deep.

Learn about the unique lifestyle of this area’s Traditional Owners—the Ngaro People—from signs along the way.

With excellent anchorage at Hill Inlet and Tongue Bay, why not make a day of exploring this beautiful part of the Whitsundays?
