Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful views along the walk. Part of the path from the north end was closed but you can walk on up the road to Flag staff hill lookout. Paths really well maintained and the views were stunning!

Would recommend this. Dont drive. Get out and about and walk up there if you can. Its hot, humid and steep. Or maybe get someone to drop you off so you can return down to four mile beach via the walking track. Highly recommend.

Short walk to Flagstaff Hill Lookout from Main Street of Port Douglas. Rewarded with beautiful views of the ocean.

Nice walking trail we stumbled upon. Absolutely incredibly sceneries to look out at. The water as blue as anything, surrounded by Australia’s natives. Definitely worth the small hike

Lovely easy walk around the coast line. Does have some steps and a few little rough areas but not too hard. Many stops for a look out and rest.

Lovely view and you can drive all the way to the lookout. It can get quite busy so would be good to go early or later in the day.

The lookout has fantastic views of the beach and Port Douglas itself. We went in the middle of the day which I would not recommend as it was too hot for the walk there which is slightly strenuous unless you are really fit.

A great little walk up and down on a,gravel path. A few lookout points along the way with stunning views. At the top is the Flagstaff lookout, which can also be accessed by car. The walk is a mixture of up and down so best done when a bit cooler !

I walked up the many, many stairs up a pretty steep hill to get to the lookout and was well rewarded with such gorgeous views. Highly recommend if you have the fitness to climb the stairs and continue onto the Flagstaff Hill Walking Circuit but there's also an option to drive up for a more accessible option.

You can walk up the road which has a steady but easily done incline to the lookout. '
