Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start your journey from the main town of Cardwell. Head south on the Bruce Highway (Highway 1) and follow the signs towards Hinchinbrook Island. Once you reach the town of Lucinda, you will need to take a ferry to Hinchinbrook Island. The ferry runs regularly, and you should check the schedule in advance. The cost for the ferry is approximately AUD 20 for a car and AUD 10 for each passenger. After disembarking the ferry, the road leads you to the National Park area. Follow the signs to Zoe Falls, which is about a 30-minute drive from the ferry terminal. Note that the road may become unsealed, so a 4WD vehicle is recommended.

Public Transportation

For those relying on public transportation, take a bus from Townsville to Cardwell. From Cardwell, you will need to book a taxi or a shuttle service to Lucinda to catch the ferry to Hinchinbrook Island. Once on the island, public transportation options are limited, so consider arranging a local tour or shuttle that can take you to Zoe Falls directly. It is advisable to check the ferry schedule beforehand, as well as local transport options on the island, to ensure a smooth trip. The total cost for the bus from Townsville to Cardwell is around AUD 30, and the taxi fare to Lucinda may vary but can be approximately AUD 50.

Hiking

If you are adventurous and fit, you can hike to Zoe Falls from the nearby camping area. The hike is approximately 4 kilometers one way and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to reach the falls. The trail starts near the Zoe Bay camping ground. Ensure you have proper hiking gear, plenty of water, and check the weather conditions before setting out. Always inform someone about your hiking plan for safety.
