DESTINATION: Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island is nestled amongst the Whitsunday Islands, a group of 74 islands just off the Queensland Coast and at the edge of the world famous Great Barrier Reef.

As the ultimate Great Barrier Reef holiday destination, Hamilton Island is the perfect gateway to explore the unique tropical environment of the Whitsunday's like Whitehaven Beach or Heart Reef. You can snorkel, scuba dive or swim off the reef and witness one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders and its abundant array of ocean life.


Main Attractions

With over 40 different activities to choose from you can experience sea-kayaking, game fishing, scenic helicopter flights, or even have breakfast with the Koalas. Of course, you might simply want to concentrate on doing nothing at all, like laying around one of six pools or simply relaxing on the beach.

Keep your appetite at bay by visiting one of Hamilton Island's ten restaurants or six bars.
