The track/path up is quite steep but the steps are good and it’s well worth the effort to reach the top.

Worth the climb to the lookout over several beaches in Bowen. Lots of steps but you won't be sorry. Very pretty

Amazing views from the lookout point - the walk isn't too difficult, take it slow if you need. Beautiful view of the bay - we were just amazed.

You need a reasonable level of fitness to walk up to the lookout, but there are steps and a ramp at the end with no rock scrambling. The views out to the Whitsunday islands are spectacular. Definitely a must when in Bowen

The lookout is accessible to experienced and fit walkers, a bit of a climb up the steps but the views are worth it

Amazing views from the Rotary Lookout across Horseshoe Bay. The walk isn't difficult and it's worth doing the trail walk to Rose Bay too.

Early morning walk before it gets hot. Lots of locals doing this walking dogs. Grand looking out over the sea and back to the land. Worth 10 mins at the top.

There is a bit of a hike up to this lookout, but the view is fantastic. Beautiful scenery and look over the bays nearby.

Great lookout!! Bit of a rough walk up. Not suitable for the elderly with any balance or sight issues, only due to the unevenness of the track. It’s a shame not everyone can manage it, because it’s well worth a look!!

Not at the lookout itself, but there is a cafe at the bottom of the climb up. You can therefore refuel before the climb, or relax and enjoy a completed task afterwards.
