Hamilton Island Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Hamilton Island showing general coastal views and night scenes
Coming in at number one out of the Whitsundays’ 74 islands is Hamilton Island. The biggest and the best – Hamilton Island doesn’t make it a hard choice.

Unsurprisingly, plenty of native critters have made the island their home, too. Meet and greet koalas and kangaroos on wildlife-watching tours or hike through the rainforest to a hilltop peak and count neighbouring islands in the distance. Beaches plucked straight from a postcard and pristine coral cays provide the backdrop for snorkelling, yachting and kayaking adventures.

"A spacious and clean private villa with a huge bathroom and closet. Could have used another place to sit in the room since the "couch" was more like a deep daybed without a mattress. We loved everything and this would have been a 5-star review but we arranged for transport for us and our luggage ..."

It was a credit to all the resort staff, retail staff and all employees on the island as to how professional and calm the environment was amidst the Covid 19 crisis. We would happily holiday there again.

The place is very clean and environmentally friendly. It was fun going around the area by golf buggy. Everything is quite pricey compare to the mainland.

Beautiful location. Love the golf buggies for getting around. Depending on what you want I think 2 nights stay is enough
