It runs along the east coast of Hinchinbrook Island National Park and is 32 kilometres (20 mi) long.

It has been described as "iconic" by Australian Geographic [1] and one of the best multi-day hiking trails across Australia by The Guardian.

[2] The track is accessed by private ferry services to/from Ramsay Bay (from Cardwell) or George Point (from Lucinda) – the schedule varies based on tides.

The trail begins at Ramsay bay and finishes at George point, only 3km from the port of Lucinda.
