Cardwell & Hinchinbrook Tours & Information is owned and operated by Dean Beech and Andrew and Amanda Payne.
Dean is the owner of Hinchinbrook Island Cruises and has run this successful business for five years. Dean also captain’s sports fishing charters in North Queensland. Dean celebrated his 30 black marlin season in 2016.
Hinchinbrook Island Cruises runs a variety of island cruises around the waters of Hinchinbrook Island, Island transfers for the world famous Thorsborne Trail and a variety of Estuary & Reef Fishing Charters.
Andrew and Amanda Payne started Hinchinbrook Hiking Gear in January 2016 and have since expanded in tourism. They now offer a variety of land based day tours and camping tours. They also hire out hiking equipment for the Thorsborne Trail and for the Island campers.
Early in 2016 both companies started a close working relationship. This continued and expanded into 2017 and in March we opened a tour and information centre located on the main street of Cardwell where we will provide both local’s and visitors with a 1-Stop shop where they can book accommodation and tours for the Tropical Coast from Townsville to Cooktown.
“We want to create an ‘Information Hub’ where tourists can find out what Cardwell has to offer. Cardwell is a hidden gem with many natural wonders just waiting to be explored. We want to make this accessible for all our tourists” says Amanda Payne.
