Introduction

Hamilton Island is the most developed and popular resort island in Australia's Whitsundays. With an airport, resorts, restaurants and a range of water activities, this tropical island, set beside the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays with a world-class golf course and rich resort experiences, is one of Australia's best-known island holiday destinations. It is the only Whitsunday island with a commercial airport, served by direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Accommodation ranges from luxury resorts to budget apartments, and activities include snorkelling or diving on the Great Barrier Reef, cruises to Whitehaven Beach, golf, sailing, kayaking and hiking (the Passage Peak trail offers panoramic views). Watching the Whitsundays sunset from the One Tree Hill lookout is a classic experience.
