Cairns a Far North Queensland provincial city is two and a half to 3 hours drive north from Cardwell.

The park contains the Thorsborne Trail for hikers. Also within the park lies the ruined Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge.^[3] The resort closed in 2010 due to the Great Recession and was destroyed by Cyclone Yasi shortly after.^[3] The buildings have been ransacked by looters and vandals. The developer has gone broke and there is no airport, making access a problem for any future developer.^[3]
