Inspired by Nature: Our Journey to Hi Tours

The idea for HI Tours was born during a quiet moment on the waters of Hinchinbrook Channel—a moment when we realised just how extraordinary this place truly is. As we sat quietly, surrounded by lush rainforests, vibrant mangroves, and the gentle lapping of the water, we witnessed, on one side, a dolphin playing around our boat, while on the other, a crocodile was sunbaking on the bank. A sea turtle surfaced to catch a breath in front of us, and in the distance, the unmistakable beauty of Hinchinbrook Island rose majestically. It was in that instant we had our "Aha!" moment—the desire to share this untouched paradise with others while ensuring it remains protected for generations to come.

We recognised that Hinchinbrook Island and its surrounding waterways are one of Australia’s hidden gems—an untouched coastal wonderland that deserves to be explored, appreciated, and preserved. It became clear that we could offer more than just boat tours; we could provide an immersive eco-experience that connects people to nature, educates them about the region’s unique biodiversity, and fosters a sense of environmental stewardship.

That was the moment HI Tours was born—a commitment to providing eco-friendly boat tours that allow others to connect with this special place while ensuring it stays as pristine and vibrant as we found it.
