TRANSFERS TO HINCHINBROOK ISLAND
DEPARTURE & PICKUP TIME
8am from Dungeness. This departure is NOT tide-dependent.
We understand that for you to organise your travel itinerary you need to see the times that we are bringing you back to the mainland.
These pick up times are consistent with you the hiker crossing Mulligans Creek 30 mins prior to the pick up time. This allows you the time to enjoy your last morning at Mulligans falls and cross Mulligan Creek at a safe time.
If the earlier or later times do not suit travel arrangements, a Mulligan Bay pickup can be organised to save you waiting for the tide and get you back to the mainland at a more optimal time..
In high Summer the trail is not usually very busy, so we can tailor your pickup times at George Point to suit. Call or email with your enquiries for January, February and December.
