In the heart of the great barrier reef,

Hamilton Island is the perfect setting for

a peaceful, but action filled Holiday. Just

a short boat ride from Airlie beach the

island is easily accessible with flights

directly to the island also included. The

island involves magical sunsets over the

water or eventful jet ski ride around the

island. Perfect for families with young

teens to have an unforgettable time.

 

What's to do?

Hamilton Island has numerous

opportunities to have a fun and exciting

time or a calming experience. With

outdoor activities including Go-karting,

jet skiing and fishing in the Whitsunday

islands. It presents a great way to spend

time in the sun and ocean. But

personally, if you're not up for having an

action-packed day there still are

opportunities to go on a scenic flight or

relax and indulge in one of the many spa

retreats.

 

The best time to visit the island is

during autumn, spring, or late

summer. Personally, the worst time

to visit is during the school holidays

or at the start of summer. The

weather ranges from a maximum of

30°C in January-March (Australian

summer) to a low of 23°C in July-

September (Australian Autumn). So,

Pack some shirts, shorts and thongs

for a great time all year round.

 

The Whitsundays are located in

the Ngaro people area the

traditional landowners from

8000 years ago to the present

time. Hamilton Island was named

and established in the late 1970s

by Keith Williams who thought

the island was a nice place for a

tourist destination. But early in

the 2000s Bob Oatley purchased

the island and developed it into a

world-class holiday spot people

see today.

 

The Island contains a bundle of live

music during the day and evening with

special quests frequent the music is

involving and enjoyable. Suitable for all

quests, this extra is a perfect piece to

make a family's day just a bit sweeter.

 

Hamilton Island doesn’t have a

particular option of choice for food and

wine. The Island has a vast range of food

options from pizza to seafood. families

can enjoy a freshly caught fish while

watching a spectacular sunset unfold in

front of your eyes.
