Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Cape Hillsborough?
The best time to visit Cape Hillsborough is during the dry season, from May to October, when you can expect warm, sunny days and comfortable evenings.

This period avoids the high humidity and heavy rainfall of the wet season (November to April). The drier months also mean fewer insects and clear skies, which are great for enjoying the natural beauty of the national park and its wildlife.

Couples often find this time ideal for a relaxing escape. The cooler temperatures make early morning walks on the beach, especially to see the wallabies and kangaroos, much more pleasant. You'll also find the ocean conditions are generally calmer, which is great for swimming and snorkelling around the headlands.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate these months. The comfortable weather allows for plenty of outdoor activities without the intensity of the summer heat.
