Part of the Whitsundays, Hamilton Island is one of Australia’s most spectacular and sought-after holiday destinations. Speckled with pristine white beaches, the island is a perfect base for exploring the Great Barrier Reef and world-famous Whitehaven Beach via helicopter, seaplane or yacht. For sailing enthusiasts, there’s the Hamilton Island Yacht Club, and for keen golfers, the Hamilton Island Golf Club is the only Australian 18-hole championship course on its own island. Wildlife Hamilton Island is a park that gives families and kids you the opportunity to get up close to some iconic Australian wildlife like the koala.
