Ultimate Hamilton Island

Perfectly situated on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, amongst Queensland’s 74 Whitsunday Islands, Hamilton Island offers an experience like no other: glorious weather, azure waters, brilliant beaches, awe-inspiring coral reefs, fascinating flora and fauna, fine food and wines, and activities almost too numerous to mention.

Hamilton Island has its own airport so is easily reached from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns. Alternatively hop on a ferry from Shute Harbour, close to Airlie Beach, for the short 30-minute crossing.

The island offers such a wide choice of activities that you might find it difficult to leave, even just for the day. However its perfect location provides the ideal launching pad for discovering the delights of the Great Barrier Reef and the spectacular Whitehaven Beach, consistently voted one of the best beaches in the world.
