点评:A lot of the reviews below are only about the beach but really this is just the starting point for the walk up to the Hill Inlet lookout point. This was a highlight of our time here and is unanimously agreed to be the best lookout point in the Whitsundays.
Starting from Tongue Bay, we followed the well sign-posted path through the bushland to the lookout.
The walk is not difficult and it’s not long (about 1.3km one way). However it is uphill all the way so allow about 12 - 15 minute to make the climb.
The path is clearly marked but for the most part, it is a dirt track with stone stairs carved into the bushland. For the most part, the trail takes you through dry rainforest until you pop out at the top where the 3 viewing platforms are.
The first platform was very crowded when we got there but the others have equally stunning views so we just moved on to the next one and came back to it later.
The views are breathtakingly beautiful. The ever-shifting, pure white sands and turquoise blue, waters were so special. Apparently the unique colours are caused by suspended particles of sand that diffuse the sunlight and cause the water to take on such striking colours.
The day we went, was a little overcast so we weren’t even there on the best day. Even so, it was unlike any other view I’d seen before and without a doubt, worth the climb.
翻译:下面的很多评论都只是关于海滩,但实际上这只是步行前往希尔湾观景台的起点。这是我们在这里度过的一个亮点,并被一致认为是圣灵群岛最好的观景点。
从舌头湾出发,我们沿着路标清晰的小路穿过丛林到达了望台。
步行不难,也不长(单程约1.3公里)。然而,一路都是上坡路,因此需要大约 12 - 15 分钟的时间才能爬上去。
这条路有清晰的标记,但大部分都是土路,在丛林中刻有石阶。大部分时间,这条小路都会带您穿过干燥的雨林,直到您到达顶部的 3 个观景平台。
当我们到达那里时,第一个平台非常拥挤,但其他平台的景色同样令人惊叹,所以我们就转到下一个平台,稍后再回来。
景色美得令人窒息。不断变化的纯白色沙滩和绿松石蓝色的海水是如此特别。显然,这种独特的颜色是由悬浮的沙粒造成的,这些沙粒扩散了阳光,使水呈现出如此引人注目的颜色。
我们去的那天,天气有点阴,所以我们甚至没有在最好的一天去那里。即便如此,它与我以前见过的任何其他景色都不同,毫无疑问,值得攀登。
