Discover The

Hamilton Island is the best place from which to discover the incredible
natural formation that is the Great Barrier Reef. Fantasea Cruises operates
daily full-day trips to the largest permanent floating platform Reefworld
where you can snorkel, scuba dive, take in the sights from the underwater
viewing chamber or ride the semi-submersible submarine and skim over the
reef surface. Alternativly, H2O Sportz operate half-day snorkel safari
adventures where you'll discover the under water gardens bordering some of
the neighbouring Whitsunday Islands. If travelling by water is not your cup
of tea, Hamilton Island Aviation operates scenic flights to the reef daily
so you can have a bird's eye view of this incredible natural wonder.
Explore the
Whitsundays
Hamilton Island has a variety of options available so that you can explore
everything the Whitsundays has to offer. Why not spend the day at Whitehaven
Beach or take a helicopter flight over the surrounding islands.
Alternatively, charter a private boat, have a traditional Australian dinner
experience on the safari tour or get up close with nature on a sea kayaking
tour.
