Transfers TO and FROM the southern end of the Thorsborne Trail (Lucinda to George Point and George Point return to Lucinda) with Hinchinbrook Island Cruises.
Our Ferry Company have 2 ferries which enables us to accommodate large groups. Both ferries are fast, have comfortable seating and shade.
Please keep in mind that 90% of hikers walk the Thorsborne Trail north to south (Ramsay Bay to George Point). The reason for this is when commencing the Thorsborne Trail, your backpack is at maximum weight and this direction is easier for the start of your trip.
But the direction of your hike isn’t limited by the transfers – we do both directions!
Full details required for the transfers including transfer dates and times will be confirmed by email upon booking.
There are so many ways to complete the Thorsborne Trail! If you want to talk to someone about all the options and the best way to go, give us a call on (07) 4066 8248. We have completed the hike, and can give you the right information!
