Things to See and Do

Hamilton Island offers an abundance of activities for all interests and skill levels. Whether by land or by sea, there are more than 60 ways to sample the Island and its surrounds from whatever angle you prefer.

When it comes to the water, Hamilton Island pulls no punches. You can snorkel the reef, dive at world-famous sites, go parasailing, take a boat and explore the Whitsundays at your own pace or hire paddle skis, paddle boards, windsurfers, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, go on a Jet Ski Tour around the local waterways. Accompanied by experienced instructors, you'll be guided past the magnificent, hidden coves dotted around the Island.

By air, see the absolute beauty of Hamilton Island from any one of our scenic helicopter rides or seaplane flights. Take to the skies and experience the wonder of the region with a flight over the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef, capturing stunning photos and view waterways and passages from a completely different perspective. Take a seaplane 'Love Flight' over magnificent Heart Reef or combine your trip with a snorkel or dive and understand just why this region is one of the world's best.

Explore the Island by foot or by buggy and see what makes it so unique. Choose from bushwalking, golfing, quad biking, bowling, go-kart racing, tennis, squash, art classes, shopping and more. Or simply relax by the pool or at one of the Island's elegant spas and do absolutely nothing at all.
